If you want a paper wallet I wouldn't generate it on a computer with bitaddress.org script or similar. Why not just create a new wallet with your hardware wallet and write the recovery words on a piece of paper? You can then reset your hardware wallet if you are confident you correctly wrote/memorized the recovery words and placed them in a safe place. If you generate a wallet with Bitaddress or such script, you run the risk that your computer is infected by private key stealing malware which will send over your key to a remote server as soon as it gets an Internet connection.
