There are several types of "printers" that write to photo paper. One is long
gone, that used a CRT. It was not great but surprisingly good considering.
Others used LED's. The top of the line uses lasers. These are big, very
expensive, and are sold only with maintenance agreements that total over
$1500 a month! A local lab now out of business had one, but it was
considered only possible to pay for one by running three shifts a day, which
they couldn't get the dusiness to do.

I believe that some use a strip of LED's to expose the paper.
