A printer that can do 24 bit colour would be excessively
cumbersome; most printers use 2 bit colour (cyan, magenta,
yellow, black).  Some high-end printers have some extra
colours such as green, but even those don't even come close
to 24 bit...it's all simulated.  Besides, you can find 2400
dpi printers these days for not too much effort.
