When you use an end-to-end application for handling transactions like Armory (instead of hacking together multiple tools, scripts ,etc), you don't have to worry about this. You are talking about change addresses, and all that is handled securely and transparently by serious wallets. Using manual tools where you have to think about these things can lead to lost coins.
Armory creates the change address for you from the same wallet that is protected by your paper backup, and automatically sends the change there. It is usually hidden from you because it is an unnecessary detail, and doesn't require any action on your part. However, if you examine the transaction info, you will see the change address in the outputs list, with the wallet ID next to it (showing you it's money coming back to your wallet, not going somewhere else).
