That's not my understanding: from what I've read, toner is basically a
mixture of pigment (carbon black or equivalent) and plastic (styrene)
that melts onto the printed substrate (paper).

Correct.

Maybe you're thinking of phase-change/sublimation printing (e.g.,
Xerox/Tektronix Phaser), which does use wax as the carrier.

That'd be my guess too.
