Unfortunately I'm not yet ready to transfer my company accounts to
paperless (and I'm not sure HMRC is either, on my behalf).

Last week I received a letter from HMRC to say that they won't be
sending me what they call the 'paper pack' (for self-assessment) this
year but will instead send me an SA316 to explain how to complete a
tax return online or by post. I am encouraged to make my return online
as it is 'just as easy, which is why most people chose to do it this
way.'
When the online system started it couldn't deal with people claiming
losses, the sad situation that I happen to be in, but I don't know if
that is still the case. If I continue to submit my return by post then
I guess HMRC will save on the cost of printing the forms.
If thay are encouraging individuals to submit online then it can't be
long before they start on small companies too.
