Option B: Print the Addresses to Paper
...
Steps:

  1. Follow the instructions in the previous step and setup a clean (freshly wiped) machine to verify receive addresses.
  2. Export a very large amount of receive addresses to a file. You never want to have to repeat this setup and paper is cheap, so consider a very large number (say 10,000 addresses).
  3. Print this file, and consider making multiple copies.

how to do step 2? where is the option in Electrum?

I download the addresses onto an SD card from a ColdCard. Then I print the addresses on my printer. If you are worried about privacy you can use an old dot matrix printer sans wifi, or I suppose you could remove the wifi card from the printer, but to be honest I've never tried.

I too have done it through the coldcard export, but it would be nice to cross check them with another source like Electrum

Oh. I see. You can cross check with Electrum, but it's easier to use Sparrow nowadays. You can also criss check addresses in Keystone, but it's been a while. I'm in the process of making video tutorials and adding them as a pull requests. Would you like me to make a Electrum on Tails tutorial?

Exporting to Sparrow is great, but also I wrote the functionality for Electrum watch-only export from Specter-Desktop:
