I apologize if I have duplicated others' suggestions, but here's what
I got from a poll I did with openstreetmap.org (referred to as OSM
below) users:

1) For a beginner Quantum GIS is quite straightforward, relief in 1km
resolution can be found on GLOBE, a more powerful but
tweak-time-consuming solution is GRASS. For all free mapping solutions
check out freegis.org.

2) If he adds the old names (old_name=) to the OSM then he can render
them how he wants with this program:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Kosmos

3 related to #2) And if he waits for a day or two, he will also be
able to print this map within Kosmos using whatever scale he needs.

Hope this helps,
Robert
