Hp T530 36” plotter
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

What is the longest length of plotter paper the 36” plotter can support, is it just 150’ rolls or can it fit 300’ rolls?

It depends on the paper thickness.  There's 90gsm at the thinnest end and 300+gsm for thicker paper. Go to a supplier and measure diameter for different products and compare with your printer.

I don't need specialty paper and the 90gsm is kind of expensive for my need.  I am printing out blueprints so my guys can use them in the field.  I was looking at the 20lb paper and wondering is a 300' roll would fit.

The roll core has a plastic push in fitting at each end. You will have trouble getting anything with a bigger diameter than them. One is black, the other end is blue. looking at the setup you might squeeze about another 5cm in.

Why not do what we do - bigger rolls are cheaper per meter so we order large rolls and unwind the excess off onto a another core.
