My understanding is that certification of forms for efile and forms for print are independent, and have different time tables.  I imagine the first involves making sure we're setting all the fields correctly for an electronic schema; the second involves making sure we're printing out the form exactly as the state wants with nothing extra or off kilter and all the customer info is going in where it needs to go with the right font, etc.

But, caveat, I'm multiple levels removed from all that - so my understanding is fuzzy at best.
