The FSF is a direct result of Stallman’s previous issues with printers.
When I was there we had a black and white laser printer from Imagistics. They did later buy a HP printer but I don’t know what model. It was used just to print letters for their bi-annual member mailing.
A lot of printing was done by external companies, including the member newsletter and of course, all the color printing for events.
Historically, manuals were typeset with free software but the cover art was made by a third party using Quark on a classic era Macintosh and exported to PostScript. The first few book covers that were made using free software were the Introduction to the Command Line and the modern Emacs manual. I made these in Inkscape on Linux.
