hardcopy
Paper, not digital
Hardcopy is a printed version of a document or file, as opposed to its digital form on a screen.
The term emerged with computing—before then, all copies were hard copies.
Often written as two words: Do you want me to send you a hard copy?
The adjective form describes printed output: hardcopy documentation.
