I would like to make this image to have 4:3 ratio, so it then later can be scaled up so it completely fits a 400mm x 300mm paper when printed.

It can not be cropped any more, so the size is 780x500, which is not 4:3.

Question

As it needs to be scaled up when printed

should I scale it down horizontally so I get 667*500 (remove pixels)

or

should I scale it up vertically so I get 585*500 (add pixels)

?

Decide for yourself:
667x500 (horizontally scaled down)

780x629 (vertically scaled up)

Make sure you watch the images at 100%, so just right-click 'view image' or download them.

BTW the '585x500' pixels you mentioned is a bit of a wrong calculation ;)

Sidenote: this is a good image for scaling in one dimension, but most images will look very ugly and distorted when you perform this action. Beware :)

There is no way you will be able to scale a 780 x 500 to 400mm x 300mm... I would recommend scaling it up though to preserve pixels as when you scale down you are losing pixels. But I just want to tell you that 400mm x 300mm is 4724 x 3543 pixels, so no matter what you do, enlarging it that much will make it look low quality.
