These are good tips. One that I used to use when I was a copy editor that I’ve never seen anyone else mention: read upside down. It’s another way of slowing yourself down so that you see what’s actually on the page.
Personally, I don’t print my manuscripts, but I do send them to my Kindle for at least one of my proofreads.

I proof in the original Google doc and again (usually several times) as an EPUB. The change in layout, line breaks, etc. makes a huge difference. Like you, I generally don’t do paper anymore.
