A LaserJet toner cartridge is a cartridge made up of 2 halves. The halves are either designed as a single unit or designed as two individual units that will work as a single unit once installed. Canon and HP have mostly toner cartridges that are two halves that make up one unit or toner cartridge. The two halve are made up of a drum half and a toner half.
The Drum half or waste bin has four main components. The drum which is made of metal has a unique coating on it so that allows it to apply the toner to the paper. It is the only part of the cartridge that makes direct contact with the paper. There is also a PCR or Primary Charge Roller that sits up against the drum. Directly under the drum is the wiper blade, whose job it is to clean all of the old waste toner off the drum as it turns during printing.
The Toner half is made up 3 main components. First there is the Mag or Developer Roller. It is often referred to as the Mag because there is a magnet that is in the developer roller that runs the length of it. Not all cartridges have a magnet in the developer roller but the majority do. Directly under the Mag is the Doctor Blade and it is it's job to make sure the Mag gets a even coat of Toner. The Toner is the last component, its specific elements vary for between cartridges but without it, we'd all be using inkjets or working on our handwriting. No matter what style of cartridge, almost all have these two halve in some form.

The result is the same as what would be produced on a printing press from the days when ink was used for books, magazines and newspapers.

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 is the difference in ink jet and laser printers as in quality speed and sound?
Ink jet printers operate by spraying tiny amounts of ink directly to the paper as ink cartridges are passed repeatedly from one side of the platen to the other. In Laser printers, powdered "toner" is collected on special drums using controlled static electricity. The toner is then transferred directly to the paper where heat is used to permanently fuse the toner to the paper. In general, most laser printers will be faster and quieter than ink jets as well as much cheaper to operate for black and white text. Ink jet printers may be initially cheaper, but the cartridges are quite expensive and although a toner cartridge for a laser printer costs more than an ink cartridge, note that the toner will print many times more pages than an ink cartridge. Color laser printers are still quite expensive to operate and purchase.
