Title: What is the most secure LiveCD for printing paper wallets offline? Post by: aantonop on May 14, 2013, 03:05:26 AM I am the founder of the SafePaperWallet.com project.
As part of the project, I distribute paper wallet kits with instruction for secure offline printing. I plan on making a "Pro" kit that includes a bootable LiveCD distribution that includes the key generating software and can be used offline. The LiveCD will walk a user through the steps of setting up a printer and printing on paper wallets. I need to find the best LiveCD for the job, it has to fulfill the following needs: 1) It has to be secure 2) It has to have a small distribution on it (see 1) 3) It has to support printing over USB to MANY common inkjet and laser printers I have some ideas about which LiveCDs would achieve the goals above, but I want to hear from the community. What LiveCD do you think I should use? Here's a list, if you want a starting point: http://livecdlist.com/ Any advice and feedback is welcome!

It supports a good amount of printers but for some you need to install driver. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Printing http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PrintersScanners Ps: I think ubuntu is best option as anyone can use it easily.

I was having trouble finding a LiveCD that would print full-color offline wallets for multiple currencies, so I ended up just rolling my own distribution using SuSE Studio. It's basically just a small SuSE 13.1 distro based off of LXDE, Firefox and YaST's printer config tools. If you're interested, I put the distribution up here: https://susestudio.com/a/Pm0gud/cryptocoinprinter |
