Never printed anything longer than 80" but the GL/2 driver is Q6692A.

44"model? The 80" is a low number, 108"was possible on the plain Z3100 and don't ask how but from another system I could do something like 127", all Windows, XP 32bits.

The HPGL/2 driver is an optional driver that should according to other users resolve the print limits on the plain Z models.
What I understand is that the software key allows better networking and shifts part of the processing from the system to the printer.
Store and reprint files from the printer queue included. Price is something like 350 $
I see only the Z3100 reference but I guess that it should be compatible with the Z3200 too. You have to ask HP on that.

I have a 44" Z3200-PS and that one does at least 5 meter.
