It might be a Kodak Firey (sp?). It was their print RIP for their high
end printing system. I'm not sure what a Sun pedestal looks like, but the
Firey that my Uncle's store had looked like a fat boxy PC mini tower.
It connected via Ethernet IIRC to their Mac, and then connected to a
Kodak printer/color copier unit (might have been an Agfa or Canon
printer/copier, not sure).
I could see one of these coming out of a school's graphic arts
department. I'm not sure how much these are used any more now that many
of the workgroup color laser printers give as good or better quality than
the early color copier/firey sytems, and at a much lower cost.
Or, it might be a newer Kodak photo processor that you find in those one
hour photo places, although I don't know why a school would have one of
those and be ditching it (I was under the impression they weren't owned
by stores, but rather leased as part of the kiosk and had to be returned
to Kodak when they were no longer wanted)
