Unfortunately, the resolution answer will vary based on the optimal resolution required by your paricular output device. 300 ppi file output is usually enough resolution for most printers. Some can do fine with less but you will have to check for your machines. You might want to go to http://www.scantips.com to do the tutorials and get a better understanding between scanning resolution and printing resolution.

See the two shots of Hearst Castle in my California pics at www.dougnelsonphoto.com. These were shot with a Bronica RF645 and scanned at 3200 ppi with an Epson V700. Of course, when you have to size the image down to post it on the web, it matters a lot less what the scanning resolution was. I don't think the on-line image would look any different if the scanned res was 1600 ppi or even 800. At full resolution, these shots show amazing detail.
