Yep, that's how every laser printer I've ever come across functions and the only way I've ever seen it described to work.

The diodes that I got from a laser printer I took apart were 650nm or 660nm. Similar to yours, soldered directly to the circuit, except mine were mounted with plastic. No metal heatsinking what so ever. I haven't pushed any of the didoes past a few tens of mA IIRC, so I don't know how far you can run them.
Oh, an FYI, don't mess with the colored powder

Im probably going to get a low current driver on ebay and guess with this one. I wonder if I can desolder it and place it into a host.
