Depends on the DESIGN of your laser printer! Some are engineered to break in certain ways and if you are lucky it's at an interval but others just die once. Laser printers are quite complex devices which helps them hide the "errors" in the breakage.
Color laser printers have a different more complex design than simply a large box with 4 printers inside; they'll merge 4 fusers into one and have a delicate powder transfer belt to leak and needing foam seals... and choosing foam that deteriorates by age (seen it twice and never was able to replace successfully.)
The old Xerox Phaser is the best color printer ever but is discontinued and wasn't reliable until the end when they built them around service plans with ink. Not that they didn't have issues and maybe were not as reliable as some large lasers with a similar business plan motivating them to be engineered better. That said, most the engineering time isn't spent on long life so it doesn't look like anything is there yet; at that complexity.
Dot matrix, that is simple and was mastered long ago.
