I am trying to figure out a way to distinguish which employee gets printed copy and which gets emailed.  Currently I am just keeping a hand-written list, but surely there is a better way.

This might sound a bit out-of-the-box, but could you just set the employee email address for the printed ones to your own inbox?   Then just open them in your inbox, print the attachments, and delete.

It may also be possible to set Outlook to automatically print email attachments where the email meets certain criteria, but that may be a bit too automated if it goes slightly wrong.

Alwyn, Did they cite a particular chapter & verse in that letter you mentioned?

I couldn't find anything on the interweb one way or the other on the privacy aspect of emailing pay stubs.   I can see where emailing a filled out TD1 or a T4 slip would run up against CRA 'protected when completed' rules, but can't quite see how the numbers on each stub have anything to do with CRA unless they're printing the SIN on the stub somewhere.

There was no chapter and verse quoted so my reply to them requested the regulation number. I am aware that payroll amounts are considered confidential information from the Privacy aspect but again it must be an alternative fact as I don't have chapter and verse.
