accounts hold the balances.
each account has TWO keys .. a owner and an active ..
keys can be changed
owner can do everything
active can do everything except change the owner key
in order for a cold storage to work you need to replace the keys in your account permissions page.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am writing this from the perspective of a non-pro user who may be accustomed to another perception of paper wallet.
if account is hold the balances, you can't send funds to paper wallet account because this account is not registered on the network and has no account id
The account name and password is just one of the seed components
In paper you can create a wallet with already existing / registered name which belongs to someone else and the new user may not be aware of this and send money to this account believing that he sends them to his paper wallet. At best, new user will not be able to send funds to this account because it does not exist.
Otherwise, the user after entering the account name and password and printing the paper wallet may be confident that he or she will be able to log in to the account using a new login and password model, which will also fail.
As of now, I have found one case of using this paper wallet for myself. I added the ability to log in with a password and joined the ACTIVE key to my existing account, it allows me to trade on DEX, but does not allow to send funds in the SEND tab. In addition, I could get the private key ACTIVE and create an account on btsbots.com, on my phone without physical access to the computer.
3rd point at this page
http://www.sovereignhero.com/super-wallet/can also give the user a false impression that he has to deal with a paper wallet known from the BTC
If what I wrote above is true, then maybe You could add a ~placeholder = eg. "Your existing and registered account name" in the account name field
