In the old times some PS Level2 RIPs couldn't handle Truetype fonts.  
And most bad fonts are Truetype.
But in fact the format tells nothing about quality or printability.

OpenType fonts can contain Truetype-based outlines as well as  
PostScript-based (quadratic vs. cubic curves). Usually .otf files  
contain PostScript-based outlines, while .ttf can mean "old" Truetype  
as well as TrueType-based OpenType. I.e. the TrueType format can  
encode its slots in Unicode (obligatory for OpenType) or in any other  
encoding.
