Most likely if your prints are not as crisp as they were in your previous program it has something to do with either your resolution (pixel per inch in the file itself) or the dpi (dots per inch that you are printing at).

Carole asked about how you resized your image and that's likely where something got confused on the resolution. One way to check your image size is to click and hold on the image size shown in the lower left hand corner of PSE. Mine shows 8.5 inches x 11 inches normally. When I click on it I get the following information.

Width: 2550 pixels (8.5 inches)
Height: 3300 pixels (11 inches )
Channels: 4 (RGB color)
Resolution: 300 pixels/inch

If your resolution is significantly lower (100 ppi and lower), there just isn't enough information in your file to print a really clean looking image no matter what dpi you print at.

HTH and let us know if you have more questions.
