Explanation
A vacuum (specifically one designed for toner, often with a HEPA or micro-filtration system) is the correct tool for cleaning excess toner from a laser printer. Toner is an extremely fine powder that poses a respiratory health hazard if inhaled. Compressed air (B) would blow loose toner into the air and spread it throughout the environment, creating a health hazard and making the mess worse. Tape (A) could leave adhesive residue and damage components. A dry cloth (C) can create static electricity and spread toner rather than collecting it cleanly.
