TLDR : Answer Summary
After receiving approval for a Non-O Visa, the user inquired whether a printed copy is necessary for immigration or if showing it on a mobile phone would suffice. Comments provided various opinions, emphasizing that while it's often advised to have a printed copy, some users reported successfully entering Thailand using only their mobile copy. Recommendations included printing at local print shops or hotel receptions for convenience.

Just ask your hotel reception to print it for you or go to a print shop

I was gonna buy a printer but discovered there was a printing place across the street from my condo. Would take a whole lot of printing with them to add up to the cost of a printer.

The first thing I am going to buy in Thai when I arrive end of this month will be a printer. The same one I have in Japan, EPSON EP-881AW.

Just go print out a hard copy of your Non–O E–Visa PDF

It's likely the instructions from the embassy say to print the visa and hand it over with your passport. For Thailand, you always want everything printed. You probably could get in without it printed, but you would need to make sure the passport control officers understands you have it because there's a risk of you being stamped in incorrectly without it. You'll still need it printed later anyways for your extension and possibly for your bank.
