Depends on Size and other factors. Personally, if you are going to Print, you should consider that before Rendering. I ususally Render much Larger and Higher DPI if I am going to Print. (Set in Render Dimension Dialog)

Basically... a 1680 x 1050 (I render to Wallpaper Size) at

72 DPI is going to Print Out at 23.33 x 14.58
300 DPI is going to Print Out at 5.6 x 3.5
1200 DPI is going to Print Out at 0.83 x 0.52

So, if you want an 8 x 10 (about) at 1200 DPI then you will need to Render to 26000 x 16250 about

For Paper, any good quality Paper and a Good Printer will get you great results. Format for export, I prefer TIFF, but that is just me.
