Yup.  I've got one, which I still use as my workhorse scanner.

The only Sun-branded printer I am familiar with, the SPARCprinter, I

interface which was basically "DMA a bitmap from host memory to the
print engine" - I wrote a NetBSD driver for it, so I have a decent idea
of what it looked like to the host.
