I suppose the malware can simply track whether you have wallet software installed and only then it would check the printer memory? I was reading an article yesterday. Apparently even the pass phrase is not save anymore since they can just take a screenshot of the screen.

yeah well if you have a keylogger they can simply notice and record every action you take such as keys you press on your keyboard, what you see on your screen, clicks of your mouse,... this is actually why air-gapped machines are used for generating your private keys and notion of cold storage exists https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Cold_storage

Yes I've heard about that. Didn't had that option though coz I only have one laptop so I can't have any dedicated computer that won't connect to internet.

I don't know any cryptography but I'm thinking of shuffling the words rather than writing them down in order.

But how you will identify it if you are about to retrieve the wallet? You have to put some hint of doing this. This came to my mind but I'm very easy to forget and my memory doesn't works well now.

I think it would finally be safer to keep digital copies of it. Any suggestions?

Keeping to a laptop that isn't in use anymore and you are the only one that can access that laptop will make it secure. Keeping some back up with a flash drive that's dedicated to be a storage of your private keys only.

The "story" part gave me an idea. Maybe it can be encrypted into a poem that can be then memorized. Would be longer but seems easier to memorize than a random sequence of words. Thanks for the suggestion.
