When you ask questions like this, you have to tell how you are
printing. Am going to assume local network laser printer.

The short version, JPEG is a poor choice but any other format is fine.

Resolution of 120 or higher is fine for the original, anything over
200 is overkill.

Use only ZIP compression for graphics in the PDF joboptions and don't
downsample.

Don't resize the original by deleting pixels, resize only by changing DPI.

HTH.

Remember, this is online. Take everything with a mine of salt and a grin.
