I hope not, given that thing doesn't have one!

My does. Samsung CLP 315W has like 4 toner cartridges

That was the joke, toner isn't ink, it's toner ;-)

I was unaware there was a difference

Ooh, you're one of today's lucky 10,000!

Ink is a liquid that is sprayed in tiny dots and dries onto the paper, while toner is a powder that gets attached to the paper with electrostatic forces using lasers, and then fused to it with heat! It's a super neat process.

And, generally speaking, ink is the stuff with a ridiculously draining business model which costs consumers far more than is justified for cartridges which quickly dry out over time even when not in use, while toner is relatively inexpensive stuff which basically lasts forever and keeps just as fresh and usable as the day you bought it.
