Problem is that screens display at about 72 DPI (dots/pixels per inch) and printers print at 300-1200 DPI. You have X number of dots/pixels to work with... you can enlarge the image somewhat using photoshop/the gimp/fireworks/paint shop pro/etc. but when you do that, you are "creating" information that isn't there already, which is what leads to pixelization, etc.

Try printing it as high quality as you can, then scan that print at as high a DPI as you can, and it may come out OK.
