Are there any *printf (and *scanf) unit tests

I've been thinking of writing a *printf rip-off function. I'm wondering
if there are any unit tests for the printf function. How do the library
writer test their code? (I searched with <http://groups.google.com> and found posts with code _using_ printf in their unit tests. But I
want unit tests of printf itself.)

Is there a similar test suite for scanf?

Check Plauger's book (The Standard C Library) and glibc's test suite.

Go to the public FTP site:
ftp://jump.net/pub/tybor/
and get the file tbin2dec.c
It is one of several tests I have posted on that public site.
That particular test is of %e and %f of printf for the property:
"The value is rounded to the appropriate number of digits."
