The printing process takes place when the photo-sensitive roller of the drum unit attracts the toner. From here the toner transfers to the paper and with some heat it binds over the paper. Over the time, the drum unit becomes dirty with the passage of time due to the accumulated dirt and dust over it. Replacement is the only choice as the drum unit is also a consumable part of the printer and over the time, it should be replaced with a new one to maintain the optimal print quality. Most of the advanced printers give a warning when it is the time to change the drum unit.

Why called laser printers?
The HP Laser Printer is a printer produced by HP. It uses laser technology to work more efficiently than the previous prototypes. Because of this new technology, the printer is best used to mass-produce papers. There are also subdivisions of the HP Laser Printers, which are: HP Laser Jet 4000, HP Laser Jet 4050, and HP Laser Jet 4250.
What is the purpose of an imaging drum?
An imaging drum is present in laser printers. The imaging drum receives the image sent by the laser in the printer. The drum holds the electrostatic charge to transfer the toner ink to paper.
Functions of laser printer?
The first step in creating a laser printout, is for the printer to remove any toner from the drum from a previous print. The printer than conditions the drum by removing any latent images. A new image is then inscribed onto the drum using the laser to charge parts of the drum. Toner is applied to the drum, and the image is transferred to paper. Finally the toner is fused to the paper through heat and pressure.
What is a non impact printer that creates characters and images with dots by using a drum and toner called?
A laser printer.
Printers use a drum and toner in the printing process?
Certain printers do, yes. These types of printers are called Laser Printers. The other type, which uses nozzles and ink cartridges, is called an Ink jet Printer. The drum on a laser printer might not be the kind you're thinking of. It's actually just a big rotating tube that transfers the toner from the toner cartridge to the paper. The toner is particles that have a positive charge, and are attracted to the drum where there is a negative charge (The drum is negatively charged by a laser, thus the name Laser Printer).
What can damaged the photosensitive drum on a laser printer?
Some of the things that can damaged the drum on the laser printer are and should be avoid. Do not expose the drum to the light for more than few minutes, the drum should never be touched, also keep away from dust and dirt, as well as humidity and high-temperature areas.

Evidently you have a page printing Laser Printer rather than an Inkjet or matrix style. That technology uses a drum. This is similar in concept to a copier, and contains a Drum. It may be an integral part of the toner cartridge.
