Now money can be run off by the printing press...
When it says "run off" I'm not sure if it means that it's running out of money or it's printing more money.

It means printing more money.
Printers usually "run" (switch and use - you can use run for a lot of machinery) a printing press and whatever it is that you are printing (e.g. money) comes "off" in sheets at the other end. That's the background to "run-off".

It definitely means printing more money! Money is just 'rolling-off/running-off' the press in frantic production. Usually, when an economy is in big trouble, they print a lot of money. All this does is produce inflation, causing the price of everything to rise. If it's uncontrolled, then you get hyperinflation. That's when money becomes worthless, causing social devastation.
