Hi Tim, We use printers from the HP DesignJet series. Works fine.
QGIS has limitations when printing large rasters. Also, WMS services may run into limitations, when not properly configured because QGIS would request huge raster chunks, larger than what WMS servers usually can deliver.
Also, the most recent releases fixed printing issues when dealing with large polygons (>5000-10000 vertices and more) - not uncommon with GIS datasets. There was an issue with inefficient clipping algorithms in the qt-engine. Marco/Jürgen patched the qt-library that caused the problems.
Marco has an open task on improving the printing engine to better handle/tile large rasters and WMS. I don't know if he is already working on this or not. Maybe Marco can comment?
