Quick Employer Forms 1099 Misc Copy A - no printed copy

Quick Employer Forms indicates, "Quick Employer Forms only supports e-filing of the forms with the IRS and Social Security Administration. Copy A of the Form 1099 and W-2 are only used for e-filing and are not provided for printing."  Does this mean the recipient does not have to send in a 1099 Misc Copy A with their tax returns to the IRS?  I want to give the recipient a correct answer if they ask me why they did not get a copy A. thanks.
