Nope. You have what's called a Trip Summary and Report (TSR), issued with e-tickets.

On the issue of e-tickets vs. paper tickets, I always go paper whenever possible. If using an electronic tkt gets me a substantial bonus, like 50% on CO, then maybe I'll do it. But in all other instances, I stick to paper. Remember that the possession of a bona fide paper ticket gives you certain legal, contractal, and practical rights over the e-ticket. Besides the "use on other carriers" privilege, airlines are required to honor your bona fide paper ticket, even if there is no record of it in their computer. This legal/contractual right does NOT extend o e-tickets, even with the presentation of a TSR. See 1travel.com for more details.
