No, the software is not going to require you to purchase or connect a printer to your computer. Not sure why amazon is showing a printer as a requirement. If you are going to use the CD/download you can save yourself paying the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state return instead of e-filing the state. Even though the software can include the state program to prepare the state return, it will cost you $20 to e-file the state before March 1, and after March 1 it will cost $25 to e-file a state return.
When you use online software, there is no fee for e-filing. If you want to print your return, you can save it to a flash drive and print it somewhere like Kinko's, Staples, UPS, etc. or access your account from any computer that is connected to a computer and print it yourself.
