Do color laser printers have separate toner cartridges?

I worked in a office a few years ago that had a laser printer, and it used wax-like material for color. Is that common? What is that stuff called.

1. A wax printer is not the same as a laser printer. Laser printers use powder called toner and there is a separate cartridge for each color. What you are describing is a solid ink printer.
2. Yes you will find a black, cyan, yellow and magenta in a laser printer. http://www.unifiedtoner.com
3. The wax is actually a third class of printer called a Solid ink It is mostly found with Xerox prints. THat is not common, unless you are buying a xerox color phaser printer. Most Colour laser printer use toner, which is pretty much plastic dust.
