The tektronix printer (or 'copier' as they called it) was photographic. The 
paper was light-sensitive, and went past the screen of a 'flat' CRT (I think
it only had deflection plates for one axis, the 'deflection' in the other
direction coming from the paper movement). It really was an odd-looking
tube.

IIRC the image was developed by heating the paper. I don't remember any
liquids involved, but it's been a long time since I looked at the manual for one
and even longer since I've seen the actual device
