New member & SVG Printing performance

Hello everybody,

I'm new in SVG and my work is about printing performance on the
Web via a standard browser.
In the SVG Adobe Tutorial, I read about printing that
"SVG images are capable of printing at the maximum resolution
of any printer". That mean SVG make possible high-resolution
printing. But how ? Is there some primitives in SVG that
request the printer for resolution capabilities (dpi) and then
recalculate the image printing-optimized ?
Could someone tell me what's about that ?

Thank you in advance...
