How to avoid efiling state return and just get the instructions for mailing the return?

TurboTax seems to insist that I efile my state return.  I have already efiled my federal return but when I try to paper file my state return it just keeps looping back to efile it.  I know I can just print the forms to mail it and look on the forms for the correct address, but it would be nice if TurboTax would print the proper instructions on page 1 for paper filing rather than generating the Electronic Filing Instructions for for page 1 of my state return.  Is there any way to make TurboTax behave and allow me to do that?  Or will it never give up in guiding down the path to efile only?

How to avoid efiling state return and just get the instructions for mailing the return?

I finally solved this issue by going out of TurboTax and when coming back to the filing section I said I didn't want to efile anything, even though I had already efiled the federal return.  That finally let me print state paper filing instructions instead of printing the efiling instructions..  But until doing that I was stuck in a loop that only wanted to allow efiling for the state return.
