Generally the answer is that no harm will be done to a Laser since the power
switch on a Laser invariably simply removes all power from the printer unlike
most inkjets where the power switch initiates an orderly close down and does
not actually remove power completely.
There may be exceptions however, although I am not aware of even one, what is
the printer?
