1. Have a look here, great site. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/printers-scanners-channel.htm
2. OK simple terms: An inkjet printer sprays ink onto the page. A dot matrix hammers a ribbon of ink into the page using dots in the shape of the character you wish to print. A laser printer has a drum that repels ink. The laser puts an image onto this drum. The image doesn't repel ink, ink gets onto the image and is then pressed onto the page. I've over-simplified a little on the laser printer, but that's broadly what happens.
