Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'laser' names the technology and modifies 'printer', so a learner who knows both words can infer a printer that uses a laser. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern for devices, making the sense immediately predictable for B1 learners.
Etymology
Laser printer is named for how it makes pictures: a strong beam of light, the laser, 'draws' the image on a surface so a fine powder sticks to those parts and then transfers to the paper. So, the name means a printer that uses a laser to make fast, clear prints.
