I am trying to export a map to an image at 600DPI and 1:2,000,000 scale but have the background WMS map stay at a certain zoom level as the text can get really small compared to the other layers I have.
It'll keep the zoom level I want and that is being displayed if I go to export the map as image and just keep the resolution setting as 96DPI but the other layers are 600DPI and I want to keep the quality for printing.
The background layer is WMS
How can I set a certain zoom level so whenever I try to export with whatever settings it will only use that zoom level?
The WMS server is: http://gaservices.ga.gov.au/site_7/services/NationalMap_Colour_Topographic_Base_World_WM/MapServer/WMSServer
and I'm trying to have the zoom level set to look like this https://i.imgur.com/JthE9Fu.png which has nice big text and limited roads etc

You can export a section of the WMS layer as an image from the map canvas. Turn off all the other layers except the WMS layer. Go to:
Project menu > Import / Export > Export map to image
Save the export. Add it to your project. If the labels are too small, try again with a lower DPI.
Note: The difference between 96dpi and 600dpi is quite large. The basemap will be noticeably pixellated.
