Noob trying to make paper wallet.

I installed bitcoin core recently, thinking that I could write down private key to a paper to store my bitcoin. but when I used "dumpprivkey" commend, I got "Only legacy wallets are supported by this command (code -4)". so I did some research, found out my wallet is HD wallet, and it looks like HD wallet backup could be only done by copying wallet.dat file to USB or somewhere. Is this means I cannot make paper wallet by writing down private key? please help submitted by /u/Careless_Quail3045 [link] [comments]
