The Federal Reserve is printing money to buy the bonds.

Your statement makes no sense. The Federal Reserve does not print money.

The Federal Reserve controls the nation’s money supply. The term “printing” is the common (almost universally) accepted expression for the creation of fiat currency. So, yes they do print money, albeit they do so with a push of a button on a keyboard somewhere.
