That really depends on what you're printing on and how but if you're printing below the native resolution of the picture you're unlikely to ever notice a difference. In theory, the PSD should give you a better print if you're pushing the resolution of the picture but you'd be hard pressed ever to actually see it.
There are 2 big reasons why printers prefer JPEGs. The first is file size. The second is that JPEGs are "flat" (that is, you don't get any layers). On which note...

I don't completely agree with this - I keep everything as PSD because JPEG doesn't support layers. If you've been busy in post and you want to maintain the individual integrity of the adjustments you need to use something that keeps the layers intact.
