Excatly.

A rule of thumb is to have your files at 1.5 times the
LPI of your output device. Many "low end" printers
print at around 80 LPI (which is a measure rarely
specified in the manuals, BTW), so 80 x 1.5 = 120 =
rounded to a "safe" 150 dpi.

Many operators don't know much about this and request
files at 300 dpi (specially when working with offset
presses), resulting in unnecessary huge files that
take longer time to process. In any case, it is better
to check what the output device will be and work
accordingly. In any case, a  higher resolution to
begin with would be more desirable.
