I agree that is possible to print on the cards. This is going back to
1972/73 when I was in college but there definitely was printing provided by
the 029 punches we had used. Somewhere I've still got several stacks of my
programs I did for class. (I think I'm nearly down to the bottom of the
pile in the attic of the old house we will have for sale soon. I think I
spied them last Friday as I was digging. Man, what a lot of stuff I had
stashed up there :)
If there was known to be non-printing 029s and 026s, then this indeed was
likely an option as Jim surmises.

#026 and #029 keypunches, nor the punch outputs
of most computers, did
NOT print anything on the card.
Ummm... beg to differ. The 029 keypunch that I currently have in my
collection, and the 026 that I had some years back most assuredly DID have
the capability to print along the top edge of the card.
Now, I will grant that this feature can be switched off, or not selected
as an installed option when the unit was orginally ordered... But the
capability does exist in both units.
