A printer is another common part of a computer system. It takes what you see on the computer screen and prints it on paper. There are two types of printers. The inkjet printer uses inks to print. It is the most common printer used with home computers and it can print in either black and white or color.
Laser printers run much faster because they use lasers to print.
Laser printers are mostly used in businesses. Black and white laser printers are the most common, but some print in color, too. Hardware on the Inside Curriculum by Carol Welch.
