Oh, that's a happy little question! The printer that came with the first UNIVAC system cost around $61,000 back in the 1950s. Can you imagine the joy it brought to those early computer users? Just remember, mistakes are just happy accidents waiting to be fixed!
The printer was approximately $19.99 but remember prices were low those days!!
The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer produced in the United States. It was designed principally by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the inventors of the ENIAC. Design work was begun by their company, Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, and was completed after the company had been acquired by Remington Rand. (In the years before successor models of the UNIVAC I appeared, the machine was simply known as "the UNIVAC".) The first UNIVAC was delivered to the United States Census Bureau on March 31, 1951, and was dedicated on June 14 that year.[1] The fifth machine (built for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission) was used by CBS to predict the result of the 1952 presidential election. With a sample of just 1% of the voting population it correctly predicted that Dwight Eisenhower would win. The UNIVAC I computers were built by Remington Rand's UNIVAC-division (successor of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, bought by Rand in 1950).
The first printer was created to Chester Carlson in 1938. The process was labeled as Xerox after the company that later invested in Chester Carlson's idea of printing.
The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. Computers employing vacuum tubes are known as first-generation computers. THESE WOULD OCCUPY A 1800 SQUARE FEET. IT WOULD CONTAIN 18000 VACCUM TUBES AND CONSUME A LARGE POWER
Almost always it is not the printer that is short on memory, but the computer that is using it. And in fact, the computer may not be short on memory, but on disk space. The first fix, then, is to check that the disk drive where the print queue is kept (usually C:) has at least some free space. With modern operating systems (Windows XP and later), at least 500 megabytes should be available on your C: drive. If the printer itself is reporting that it is out of memory on its display, the only solution is to buy more memory for the printer. Most printers that use their own memory, rather than relying on the computer for storage, will have memory slots where some form of memory cartridge or stick can be inserted. Do not assume that if it is a standard size, that it is also a standard memory; printer manufacturers have proprietary memory, just as they have proprietary cartridges, and inserting standard computer memory into a printer's memory slot can destroy both printer and memory, and will certainly void any warranty you have. Contact the store where you bought the printer, or the printer manufacturer, for sources of compatible memory. Older printers would actually require that you buy an entire memory board, and install it inside the printer housing. Some such memory boards are available on eBay or other auction sites. If you need one, be certain that the memory board is for your exact model of printer, and check the seller's feedback before bidding.

The first computer printer was created by Remington Rand in 1953 that was to be used with the Univac computer.
UNIVAC™ in 1951, when Remington Rand sold the first UNIVAC I to the US Census Bureau.
On March 31, 1951, the Census Bureau accepted delivery of the first UNIVAC computer. The final cost of constructing the first UNIVAC was close to one million dollars. Forty-six UNIVAC computers were built for both government and business uses.
A UNIVAC I computer was accepted by the Bureau in 1951

In 1953, the first high-speed printer was developed by Remington-Rand for use on the Univac computer. In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a dry printing process called electrophotography commonly called a Xerox, the foundation technology for laser printers to come.

In the US, the first manufactured computer was the UNIVAC I in Philadelphia Pennsylvania by Remington Rand, in 1952.

Not sure but here are some ideas:The UNIVAC I had 2 processors running the same code for error checking, in 1951.The UNIVAC LARC was designed with dual independent processors, in 1960 (but neither LARC built had the 2nd processor).The UNIVAC 1108 could have up to 3 independent processors in a system, in 1964.
