While we're on the subject, would it be good to glue the printout onto the fretboard, then thickness/sand it off?

In my experience paper in the size of a fretboard shrinks and moves like crazy, so I wouldn't trust the template, especially when printed with a (hot) laser printer or glued onto something. I use the printouts as a rough template, then measure the frets by hand again
