There's some sort of disconnect in this discussion. The "average" print
examples print text and graphics and the system sets up something which is
something like 580 x 670 (I forgot the exact numbers) - regardless of the printer resolution.

Or said another way: by default, the printer resolution is 72 dpi. This is true.

 However, when I was first trying to get printing to work, I did
something from Matt's book with setting the resolution to max resolution - and I did get true hairline prints - however, all the text was really tiny.

Right, which is part of why we default to 72. When doing high-resolution printing, you have to scale up your drawing (including your text sizes).

Can someone clarify how this process works. Is there a default page
resolution which can be overridden?

Yep (72).

Best,
- Joe
