Mailing vs. E-Filing: Do I Need to Print Full 1040 or Just Barcode Page?

When I choose to mail my return instead of e-filing, does TurboTax Home & Business let me print just one page with a barcode for the GEORGIA state to scan and access my completed 1040 form, or do I need to print and mail all pages of the 1040? I'm asking so I can compare the printing cost to the e-file fee. (This year, I have neither a refund nor a tax payment — my balance is $0.)

When you mail your return, you need to include the full Form 1040 with ALL schedules attached.
