How to get a saved 72-dpi image to 300dpi?

Hello. Is there some way of taking a 72-dpi image and somehow
squeezing more detail out of it? I've got a photo that was done at 72
dpi but the publisher needs 300 dpi to work with. As a newcomer to
digital photography I tried printing the 72 at highest quality and then
scanned the result at 300, but I think that the result was necessarily
infreior. Any help? Many thanks. John
