Is there any way when printing a notebook to print only
text/figure/Formula/...etc cells, but not print input/output cells, that
does not involve going through the notebook and hiding them by hand?

Method 1: select _one_ of a particular type of cell you want to print
with Alt+click (Mac: Option+click); that will select _all_ cells of the
same type. Now use File > Print Selection.
Problem: what about "figures" that are in fact the contents of Output cells?
Method 2 (silly): using the same selection method as in Method 1, but
select the types you do _not_ want to print. Delete all those and save
the nb under another name. Now print it.

Method 2 actually seems like a good solution.
Yea, I thought of the issue with figures too, sometimes I do want output
cells with figures to be printed. I've thought about trying to remedy this
by copying graphics from output cells into "figure" cells, but those cells
(perplexingly) don't appear to accept graphics being pasted into them (or
maybe it's an issue with dynamic content?).
Am I missing something in the docs? Mathematica has a nice WYSIWYG
typsetting system, but it seems to be not as well documented as the rest of
the system (e.g. I can't find anything on how to use these "figure" cells
available in some stylesheets). Am I missing some hidden recesses of the
documentation?

ShowCellLabel can be set to False (i.e., unticked) in a tick box in the Option Inspector.

The area you need to explore is the Notebook Options. You can specify
whether any type of cell is printed. You can effectively preview your
printed output by using
Format->Screen Environment->Printout
The help text on the whole of this subject is sometimes obscure but you
need to go to
"tutorial/DisplayingAndPrintingMathematicaNotebooks" in the help
I haven't found it but I am sure you can close the input and output
cells fro printing
