The "like" should be a phrase with "as", such as "as though" or "as
if".  "Like" should be used when - and only when - the thing after it
is a noun phrase; "it was printed on paper" is a full sentence, not a
detached noun phrase.  "Looks like print on paper" would be an example
of a correct use of "like" carrying roughly the same meaning.

The "was" should be "were", since the statement is gramatically
counterfactual (whether it is factually counterfactual or not is
irrelevant), calling for the subjunctive mood.

Since I think you're North American, it's quite plausible that you were
never taught correct English, and thus didn't know either of those; if
so, the implicit flame is actually directed at whoever was supposed to
be teaching you English - or whoever decided English would not be part
of the curriculum you were schooled under, as the case may be.
