It really depends on how you're going to print it. If it's offset printing, you would need to match the resolution of the document to the LPI of the output device. If you're talking about a laser printer, it's a similar matter, but 300 would probably be fine. If you're talking about an inkjet printer, then 150-200 is usually MORE than enough. If you're going to screen presentation, then 72-96 is sufficient.

Doesn't matter what program you use as far as scaling the object... if it's the same font... the font is responsible for if it gets blurry or not. Fortunately there aren't many bitmap fonts these days. TrueType fonts are vectors, always. I believe OpenFonts are also vectors. Postscript... I believe are either, but it's been a while since I've used one, TrueType are just easier.
If you're having problems with
output being blurry, it has to do with how the image is processed. Photoshop changes everything into a raster, so in practice you're essentially right... you'd need a document with a higher resolution to make the images and fonts come out clean... although it's more important to match the LPI of the device than it is to have just a very high resolution document. Most desktop printers do this for you so it shouldn't matter too much... just send a decently high res document and the printer will "dumb it down" for you. For professional printing... you have to do it yourself generally.
The reason Corel is probably (I never use it) not having problems is that it could be sending the text elements as vectors and then letting the print engine scale to the appropriate res (which is what is supposed to happen). All other Adobe products do this... Illustrator, InDesign, etc... it's just Photoshop that can't seem to get it's head out of it's ass when it comes to vectors.
Hope that helps... if you're still stuck, give me some more info about what you're actually doing and trying to accomplish. More info = better answer.
