Depends on the image, and size you are trying to achieve. Do you want to enlarge the image, or srhink it to fill the page, or just a specific size. Also what format file does the printer take, postscript, or some other weirder printer language.

Basically however you can set the -density 200 then -resize the image so that it is appropriate for the page you are printing on. For example 4 inches across ⇒ 1600 pixels at 200 dpi, so -resize 1600x will make the image 4 inches.

Thanks for reply.
Actually I have to print .png color image with 200dpi b/w printer without resizing.
After printing, image quality is very bad. I want to improve image quality.
How can it be done...

It would be very hard to determine what is wrong, without knowing in what way it is bad.
