Yes, printers have memory built-in, used to store printing data while the printing is in process. Some printer types must compose the entire page in memory prior to the actual printing, others use the memory to buffer some print.

All printers will have such memory, but inexpensive models might be designed with the bare minimum of memory (in order to save cost on the printer).
