No but you can often get stuff like the HP Jet direct network printer
adaptors that let you put such printers on a network cheaply. Folks hung
onto those after the printers were discarded.

As well as a couple of daisy-wheel (NEC and Olivetti) printers.
The thing about printers is that you can't GIVE them away...

They are heavy to ship and noisy to use. Fanfold paper is not that common Still I like the old dot matrix printers more then the
old inkjets so I
have a few 24 pin models in the basement plus an Apple Imagewriter
II and
some 9 pin Atari/Commodore ones. All of them were local finds and free one
included a big box of fanfold paper too, not sure I would actually pay for
one. Its just more convenient to connect an old LaserJet to an old machine
and I have kept all my old laser printers for that use (they still work).
