It didn't need any extras for that.

Except a printer, I suppose.

The printer (and lead) was the easy part. (You could get "near letter
quality" impact dot matrix printers quite cheaply.)

Depends on when in the BBCs history we are talking about. When they were
relatively new the "cheap" Epson would have been something like the RX80
(although the one people would have really wanted was the FX80, and in
today's money they would have been well over a grand)
