The limit of printer resolution is how small the steps of the paper and the nozzle carriage can be. Printing at 5000 dpi on the long axis would require the steps of paper movement to be 5 microns. They aren't and to the best of my knowledge, they can't be. The drops coming out of the nozzles can be as small as you like, which is why you can have so many dpi, but that isn't increasing resolution.
The limit of human vision is about 10 lp/mm, given excellent lighting and high contrast - and no refractive error - so 5-6 lp/mm for a photograph is plenty.
