I wish there was a cheap simple laser engraver that could just “burn” black the surface of generic bulk printer paper. As in an inkless monochrome printer.

A bit like How to Cut, Score, and Engrave Paper With a Laser but without the need to use dedicated laser cutter.

With the explosion of interest in 3D printing, machining and laser cutters, I'm just eager to get hold of a printer like that and forever give up on liquid ink and toners of all sorts.

I get the sense that everyone responding to this is completely missing the joke.

They mean laser printers, people.

Laser printers don't burn the paper. They require toners. So it wasn't a joke unless they also didn't know how a laser printer works.
