If you don't want to have any paperwork to mail each quarter, you have a couple of ways you can pay electronically.
The IRS offers a free service to pay the quarterly taxes electronically as a bank debit at the IRS Direct Pay website.

At that same page there is also a way to pay by credit/debit card, but that method has a service fee, so that can get expensive.
Here's another method:
The Treasury offers the free EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System). You can make 1040-ES payments electronically, as well as other Federal tax payments including balances due on your annual Form 1040, etc. You have to set it up in advance with your banking info at the website. Once you enroll and they verify your info, the Treasury will send you a PIN in the mail, which you use each time you make a payment. The payment is then debited from your bank account. You can set up multiple payments in advance, or even make extra payments. Once you set it up, you can even make tax payments by phone, and you don't have to mail in any paper 1040-ES forms. You can print out confirmations or download the confirmation as a PDF. Read more at the sites below.
