Laser 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).
Advantages of drum printers
During the writing phase, the uniform high charge is discharged only in the places where toner is meant to stick to the drum. This is how the laser printing process that determines when the toner sticks to the drum.
Writing
They are entirely different. Laser printers use a dry powder toner, a laser, and a heated drum. Inkjet printers use liquid ink in a cartridge(s) whose ink is blown on to the paper in a pattern that forms characters and images.
It is during the developing phase of the laser printing process that toner is applied to the latent image on the drum. The toner is a negatively charged mixture of plastic and metal particles.
Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics by passing a laser beam over a charged drum to define a differentially charged image. It employ a xerographic printing process.
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.
No all laser printers require an imaging drum to in order for the laser to write the image on.
