Gurbani: Print And Write By Hand- Allowed?

I have been at a Gurbani study group recently, and we were talking about how the internet is a very good tool for beginners. Somebody asked a questoin about printing at home, a PDF file containing either Gurmukhi only or with transliteration and translations, compiled by websites online, which none of us could answer.

What are the rules, is printing allowed? Is this a no-no because of disrespect to Guruji?

If allowed, does it have to be printed and bound properly or is printing on a home printer on ordinary paper with ring binding acceptable (separated into volumes)?

Second part of the question relates to hand writing Gurbani, page by page until complete (will take years). What are the rules to follow? Where can one get the appropriate parchment paper outside of India? Is it allowed to make notes in the margin or does show disrespect to Guruji? How about correcting mistakes? Is there a reliable digital source which can be used for this?

Thank you.
