Printer isn't networked? (ie USB printer)
Get one of those "directional privacy screens" that stop people next
to you being able to see what you have on the screen .
Examples:

or for the really secret squirrel:

A hardcopy is much much less secure than something like this:

I know there are other much less gimiky devices out there.. I've seen
