Do you need both a drum cartridge and a toner cartridge?
Almost all of HP and Canon's laserjet toner cartridges are made up of a toner half and a drum half that are connected by either 2 pins or a end cap with screws. But if you are referring to a cartridge that uses separate toner and drum units that need to be combined in order to work in your printer, there are several printer manufacturers that have those style of printers. Brother printers are famous for this, as well as many Xerox, Sharp and few others. For example, the Brother HL series printers all use both a TN series cartridge and a DR series cartridge. These need to be connected together first, then they can be inserted into the printer to be used as a single cartridge. With the Xerox X series and the Sharp AL series it is slightly different step to combine the two separate units. In these style of printers the drum unit is normally inserted into the printer first then the toner unit is combined with the drum by sliding it into the printer on top of the drum unit till it locks in place.
Why is the drum cartridge better than toner cartridge?
A Toner Cartridge holds toner and dispenses it as needed to make copies (in a copier) or to print pages (in a printer). Another element in xerographic copiers is the photoreceptor drum. This is the surface to which the toner adheres before being transfered to the paper. The photoreceptor has a long but finite useful lifetime and must be replaced occasionally. Some copiers/printers have drum cartridges which can be changed out by the user. The alternative would be to have a service person open the machine and replace the photoreceptor drum. So, a drum cartridge alows the user to replace the photoreceptor drum and a toner cartridge allows the user to replenish toner supplies, both easier than before cartridges were developed for this purpose.

Why wont my laser printer print through a multiple form?
Laser printers works by first writing the text or image on a light sensitive drum. This latent image on the drum is them coated with toner where the next step will transfer the toner to the paper. The text is transferred to the paper through electrostatic action. There is no impact or spraying as in your Dot-matrix or Ink-jets. The final step in laser printing is to heat the toner so it can be pressed into the paper. That is why most laser printed documents are usually warm to the touch.The final answer to your question is this: Multiple form requires some kind of impact pressure like the old typewriters or Dot-Matrix printer to press through the layers of papers. Laser and any type of Jet do not produce any impact pressure to penetrate the multiple form.If this is something that you really need to do then you have two options. 1) On your laser printer, print several copies of the original. 2) Buy yourself a Dot Matrix printer. You can still find them because they are the only printer capable of punching through the multi-forms; however they will be more expensive.
