Nope, and you need a *big* bitmap for print.
The GIMP User Manual (manual.gimp.org) has some good advice on
resolution. If you haven't, I recommend reading all of chapter
14, "Pre-press and Gimp".
Short answer on resolution: 400 or more pixels per printed inch
will get you super-nice quality, 240 is enough for most
magazine-quality stuff, and for large posters that aren't viewed
close up, you can get by with considerably less, depending.
"Low-quality newsprint" is often done at 65 lpi which would
correspond to 104 ppi.
