Best Answer

A printer works by receiving data from your computer and then processing it through a component which is known as an image processor. From there the information is changed from being in binary form to being in graphical form which will be the image that is represented on paper. Static electricity is used to ensure that ink is not absorbed by parts of the page that it is not supposed to, and toner is used to apply color to the paper.
