Explanation

The fuser unit is the definitive clue here. A fuser is a component exclusive to laser printers - it uses heat and pressure to permanently bond toner particles onto paper. Pickup rollers and paper rollers are also standard replaceable components in laser printer maintenance kits, which are periodically replaced to maintain print quality and paper feed reliability. Inkjet printers use ink cartridges and printheads, thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper with no toner, and impact printers use ink ribbons - none of these use a fuser.
