If you are really paranoid, like me, you need to know that windows sux when it comes to securing/encripting your wallet for the first time. Again, it reads usb when you insert them, thus can bring malicious spy etc.

My opinion is this:  you must be able to encrypt your wallet before is created so that a copy of it unencrypted should not leak. Don't use a very new printer, use a very old one that is offline and in contact only with the offline computer/wallet, so that nobody hacks it and tries to read the paper wallet.

Super paranoid mode on with all the settings. Now I'm 100% can't be stolen in any way virtually. Have copies of wallet in at least 3 locations. A small tip, maybe electrum is the answer.
