The machine after that will probably not have any languages I know,
and I hope that the IETF will be able to provide (free of charge)
a viewer with printing option.

There may be specific deficiencies with specific operating systems
that no longer no how to print ASCII documents, in which case IETF
might need to provide (or at least point to) a viewer/editor with a
printing option.  As it stands today there are plenty of simple text
editors that are available for Windows; they aren't provided by the OS
provider, so they're not installed by default, but they certainly
exist --- and, due to the simplicity of the RFC series' archival
format, they certainly would not be hard to provide.
