Let's say both cameras printing 11 by 14 B&W

The discussion began about smoothness and Black Only printing...not 
"sharpness" or resolution.

The "smoothness" limitation of Black Only in little letter sized
prints has to do with the dot size of the printer, not the file size,
not the camera. 

As size increases, larger files will look smoother, but 12MP at 6X9
doesn't look much smoother than 3.2MP, when printed Black Only.
