For the word processor you have a couple of options (all of them can be
built and installed from the ports collection).  There's Star Office (kinda
slow because of Linux emulation, but it has a decent GUI), there's Lyx
which is an almost-WYSIWYG application for TeTeX, there's Emacs and
finally Vi.

For printing graphics and documents on a d matrix printer (I'm assuming
that it does not support postscript natively) install apsfilter.

Hope this helps.
