A D60's sensor is 3872 x 2592 pixels.

3872 ÷ 300 = 12.9

Therefore you can print an image from the D60 at 300 dpi up to 12.9" x 8.6"

However you don't need to pint at 300 dpi to get good quality pictures, especially when you account for viewing distance in large prints. A proper photo lab should also be able to interpolate your image to increase the number of pixels with very little loss in quailty. Therefore for all practical purposes you can print any size you want with a 10mp camera from 6x4 up to the size of a billboard.
