Gmail Paper-Can't find button

I am trying to use gmail's new feature, Gmail Paper, but I can't find the button to have an email delivered in paper form.
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/
I can't find that button that is circled in the google page link above.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

That was an April Fool's joke.

Oops.

Apparently this incredible feature was an April fool's joke.

I could really have used that service.

MOD, please feel free to close.

You're too nice. You really could have dragged this along a few more posts before letting the cat out of the bad.

The joke didn't make me laugh, but OP's reaction did. I wasn't sure if he was playing dumb or not.

If you recall, a few years back Google made an April Fools joke about introducing Gmail with a whopping 2 GB of storage.

I didnt see this one, though I saw the tisp. Actually a few friends called me and asked me if its true. I had a lot of fun with that!
Though this feature would be nice, including if your traveling.

I know this was an 4/1 joke, but if anyone needs to archive email from a web based email PrimoPDF is great! It installs as a printer in Windows so you just "print" to a PDF which can be saved anywhere on your comp and printed later if needed.

Of course, if you have a Mac, this is already built in

And just in the interest of balance, I recommend the open source PDFCreator:
