As far as I know, all of them. Emission spectra are caused by electrons absorbing energy and moving to a higher energy orbit or state (in the case of visible light it is a higher orbit) then when the electron goes back down to the lower state that it usually inhabits, it gives off a photon of an energy equal to the change in the energy level of the electron. All elements can have excited electrons, and all electrons give off photons when they return to ground state, so all electrons give off emission spectra.
If you know of some element out there that doesn't I would be really interested to know what's going on with it.

Pretty sure all of them do. They are neat to look at. Quite interesting.
