Basically, its dry ink powder.

The laser is used to set up a pattern of charged/neutral areas on the roller, which then picks up ink with the static charge, and melts it onto the page.

Somebody should invent a "superlaser" printer, that scorches the top layers of the paper black and dosen't need any ink at all.
LOL, I had a LJ III that more or less did that the other day. Pages came out dark brown and smoking.

Well, what printer to get depends on what you want -- laser printers are more expensive up front, but use less ink. Buy laser if you want to print lots and lots of B&W pages... or a color laser if you're really into it. Otherwise, get an inkjet and use the minimum ink settings (HP5550 is the way to go! I love mine)
