Morphology
The noun-noun compound is directly compositional: 'page' modifies 'printer' so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a printer that produces pages. The detailed technical nuance about assembling the whole page in memory may be unfamiliar, but the core meaning is transparently derived and follows common compounding patterns.
Etymology
Page printer comes from the simple idea of a printer that prepares a whole page and then prints it all at once. That's why it means 'a printer that produces one complete page at a time'.
