Some people don’t even advise using printers btw.
You shouldn't use a "smart" wireless printer with page memory, but an old "dumb" offline printer that's connected by USB-cable to an offline system works fine. Just in case: don't sell the printer, keep it for next time.

The wallets i created using BitAddress.org were not hacked
But the ones from https://segwitadress.NOBACKLINK.org/ were
~
Not sure , if the hacker left BitAddress alone because they contain 0.01 Btc only
I've never used "segwitadress".org (and I never will). There are many "paper wallet" websites out there that produce compromised private keys. That doesn't mean the site was hacked, it means the site was designed to steal. Bitaddress.org* is the only paper wallet site I've never read anything bad about.

But my ETH paper wallets were also hacked as well as a multi sig wallet I created with Electrum
It sounds like you have much bigger problems in your entire setup of creating wallets.

I don’t trust paper wallets now
Paper isn't the problem here.



*Make a typo, and you'll probably end up on a phishing site. Try "address" with one D for instance, you'll be visitor 3088585 to that site.
