It's an accurate description of laser printers. The "powder" in the description are small plastic flakes (toner), and the paper is baked so that powder melts into it.

Receipt printers have no additional consumables beyond the paper. The heat itself is all the paper needs.

Wait, seriously? We use plastic for printing documents as well?

Yup, that's what toner is. Little black plastic flecks. If you break a toner cartridge and get it everywhere, try not to breathe too hard.
