Actually, there are plenty.  This is a fairly common feature (edge to edge
printing) in today's printers.

Also, as an alternate (OT) opinion, there are plenty of PostScript printers
in use and being sold, contrary to what you might think.  Any designer doing
high quality print work will be using a PostScript enabled printer, or
utilize a software RIP for better output.  Not to mention the fact that
virtually all imagesetters rely on PostScript for outputting separations and
printing plates.
