I'm not sure if it is necessary to torture your eyes like this, especially
when 17" flat screen CRT's are less than $200.

Flickering CRT's aside, I'm not sure how one performs code review with
hardcopies.  I did this once, and all we did was go through each function
and discuss the code like it was a movie.  I'm not sure if code review
should be performed like a movie review.

How does one verify deadlock?  Memory leaks?  Initialization issues?  Etc,
etc...To validate these problems, you need to look at multiple functions
in multiple files.  I would imagine hardcopies would make it more
difficult to do such reviews.  Or are these not the type of reviews being
done?
