I don't think the clay will melt and stick to the printer (Fuser), but the toner will... if it's laid down really wide and thick. I've had this happen when printing large letters to use as a woodworking pattern. Difficult to remove the paper wound around the fuser in my Lexmark 4039 10+.
Years ago, I learned not to use copy machine rated overhead transparency material in an HP laser printer. VERY difficult to remove melted plastic from a fuser roller.
