Legally there's no problem to print OSM maps in such a fashion (see  
http://www.mapapel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mapa-de-gijon.pdf and 
mapapel.com)

On the technical side of things, you might want to "stitch" tiles in order to 
get a big and nice image you can print, or you can deploy a full-fledged 
renderer if you need high DPIs or something fancy. If you need help on this, 
please write the "dev" list (see http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Mailing_lists )


Cheers,
