Paper returns

I live overseas, and for years have printed out and snailmailed my return. 
The 2024 versions of Deluxe and Basic Federal products both say they have 5 efilings, but it is unclear if they still allow the return to be printed out.

Can I still print out my 2024 return and snailmail it?
Or is the new software efile only?

Thanks.

The desktop software is not a "new" version.   People have become confused.   The only difference is that you had to download it instead of using a CD.   It still works the same way.    Yes, if you want to file by mail, you can choose that option when you go through the FILE section.
