The easiest way to generate a paper wallet IMO is to use bitaddress in offline mode.
You could completely format your harddisk before and after generating your paper wallet for extra security. Smiley
It would be the safest to boot Linux from LiveCD and generate your wallet there. If possible, an computer that have never and will never access the internet.  Smiley

Err, how can you do this if you need to go online to bitwallet to get the wallet generator? I thought you'd have to go to that website, then unplug the internet and get your bitwallet from a javascript on your computer, right? I'm not very tech savvy. Please explain. Thanks.
You download this script from an online computer https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org then u transfer it to a USB storage device. Next, you find a computer that have never and will never be plugged into the internet and boot linux from live CD and use the script. You can check the script too. Unplugging the computer from internet when the computer have already accessed the internet is not recommended as they can still get your information after you go back on internet.
