Quite well. Toner doesn't dry up :)

Watch the older type fusers though- they can develop 'flat spots' on the 
rollers. The newer printers use a ceramic type fuser which has fast 
warm-up and no flat spot troubles.

Also keep the dust low on _any_ printer and it will last longer and 
perform better. Dusty paper can cause major issues (both printing and 
mechanical) as well.
