I suspect the sales website can’t actually reserve seats itself, but just passes along the request to some other system, which enters “LOL, NO!” in that field for a train that was long-since fully booked.

My guess is that it printed this “null” reservation slip to let you know that the reservation had failed, because otherwise people would think that the printer wasn’t working? It prints the ticket(s), then the reservation(s), then the receipt listing how many things were printed.
