The ADMP?  That later became the ImageWriter.  It was the same C. Itoh
printer as the ImageWriter, just with a parallel interface.  The Lisa
could use either that, or the Imagewriter, so it's not all that rare a
printer.  I believe the ADMP would also work with the Apple II's and
possibly the III's - basically anything that could use the ProFile
external hard drive should have been able to use the ADMP. 

It's funny, but even Win2K has drivers for the C. Ithoh printer.  I
suppose if you find one of the original ones and re-write it to match
the Lisa/Apple II parallel port, it would probably work (or vice versa.)

There was also a color inkjet printer for the Lisa by Canon I think -
unfortunately I can't find any information about its protocol, nor does
it have any drivers in common OS's.
