This is what our esteemed Tony's web site said when I saved
it last on 11th October....

>>PhotoCD is a cross-platform format, and film sizes from
APS to 5x4" may be scanned in a variety of resolutions from
128 x 192 pixels (Base/16) to 2048 x 3072 (16 Base). A
higher resolution and more tightly controlled variant, Pro
PhotoCD is available via many Kodak-accredited Professional
Labs at much higher cost, and additionally provides scans of
4096 x 6144 (64 Base). Costs are fixed by local operators,
not Kodak, so vary. <<

So the answer is yes, just, if you're not too fussy and you
want the whole frame - 186 or 236 ppi to the printer at 11"
high or 13" wide.
