Why don't the QT Wallets support Paper Printing?

[BittBurger]

Title says it all.  I was thinking about this today and I just don't get it.  I don't want to go online to some website, save it to my hard drive, log off the interwebZ, jump through hoops, clap 5 times and do 10 jumping jacks just to get a paper wallet.

I dont want to log into Coinbase and use theirs either, as they keep record of everything online, and you totally expose yourself.

You would think the QT wallets for BTC LTC etc would already have this there.  Great.  You can encrypt your wallet.dat file.  And then some turd can (already has) create a virus which FTP's your wallet.dat file to himself.  Why wouldn't these things simply have a "PRINT" button?  

No external hard drives needed.   No wallet.dat files.  

No remote website.

No risk.

Just print.

Its a local wallet.  "Print your wallet".   File > Print Wallet....

The number of private keys in a software wallet rapidly grows as you use it, and starts out with a reserve of 100.

That's a lot of printing.

Paper wallets are not backups of software wallets. Software wallets should be backed up on a digital data storage device.

Now if you want to create a paper wallet with a virgin address, there are several different ways. Might be nice for the qt client to include one.
