The laser doesn’t print anything. I haven’t taken apart a home printer but I assume it works the same as the smaller machines I fix. The laser charges the drum. That puts the image on the drum by attracting toner. Then the paper rolls over the drum. I skipped some steps but that’s the general idea.
The point is the laser just has to be good to charge the drum.
It’s quite common to leave out the noun when everyone knows what everyone’s talking about. In this case when someone says “An inkjet is worse than a laser”, we know they’re not talking about the actual jets or lasers

Okie dokie. I care about as much as the people down voting me for knowing how printers work.
Hmmm not sure if non-native or just wildly autistic
