Sort of printer that turns up in fire sale (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laser

'sort of printer' is the definition.

'turns up in fire sale' is the wordplay.
'turns up' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'resal' is hidden within 'fire sale'.
'resal' backwards is 'LASER'.

'that' is the link.

(Other definitions for laser that I've seen before include "Scientific apparatus" , "scientific device" , "Surgical device" , "type of surgery" , "modern light industry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
