Sure you can - IBM did it all the time back when paper documentation was _it_. It does increase the cost. Instead of binding the pages, print them on 3-hole paper and distribute in a 3 ring binder. Publish errata over the net, and a paper update every time the minor version changes (3.0 -> 3.1). Yes, I know why this isn't done; but I also know that it can be.
