newbie printer/camera settings help

I've done research, but would like some tips from you guys/gals. I
recently bought my first digital camera and will be using it for
casual photography on trips/special events. It is a 2 MP Fuji
FinePix 2800 6x. I have an Epson C80 inkjet. I would like to print
3x5 and 4x6 photos and wanted to know what settings you all
recommend. The camera has three settings (fine, normal, crappy
(hehe)) for each of its images sizes (1600x1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x
480). I'm assuming I'll need the fine settings for prints but what
about the resolution for 3x5 or 4x6? Does it matter if I use
1600x1200 for a 3x5 over 1280x960 for a 3x5?? Also, I'm assuming I
should just set the printer settings to the maximum dpi when
printing photos on glossy photo paper? Is this a good assumption? I
might be vague, but any tips would be greatly appreciated.
