Archivierò anche la versione cartacea, purché la stampante non si blocchi di nuovo.

Archivierò is the first-person singular future simple of archiviare.

So:

• archiviare = to file, to archive
• archivierò = I will file / I will archive

The ending -erò is the normal future ending for many -are verbs whose stem changes slightly in the future:

• archiviare → archivierò
• compare with studiare → studierò

So the sentence starts with I will also archive...

Italian often uses the future tense when talking about a real future action, especially in slightly careful or formal wording.

So:

• Archivio anche la versione cartacea... can sometimes work in context, especially in informal speech if the future is obvious.
• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea... clearly means I will also archive the paper version...

Using the future here sounds natural because the action depends on a later condition: provided that the printer doesn’t jam again.

Anche means also / too.

In this sentence:

• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea = I’ll also archive the paper version

Here anche is focusing on la versione cartacea, meaning that the speaker will archive that version in addition to something else.

Its position matters. Compare:

• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea = I’ll archive the paper version too.
• Anche archivierò la versione cartacea = much less natural here.
• Archivierò la versione cartacea anche = possible in speech, but less standard in neutral written Italian.

So the placement before the noun phrase it affects is very normal.

La versione cartacea means the paper version or the hard-copy version.

• versione = version
• cartacea = paper, on paper, in paper form

Cartaceo/cartacea is an adjective used for things that exist in physical paper form, as opposed to digital form.

For example:

• documento cartaceo = paper document
• modulo cartaceo = paper form
• versione cartacea = paper version

A close English equivalent is often hard copy, though the Italian wording is literally paper version.

Yes, often you can, but the nuance is slightly different.

• versione cartacea = the paper version/form of something
• copia cartacea = a paper copy

So:

• versione cartacea emphasizes the format
• copia cartacea emphasizes the copy itself

In many real situations they overlap, but versione cartacea is a very natural choice when contrasting paper and digital versions.

Purché means provided that, as long as, or on condition that.

It introduces a condition that must be true for the main action to happen.

So:

• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea, purché la stampante non si blocchi di nuovo.
• I’ll also archive the paper version, provided that the printer doesn’t jam again.

It is a bit more formal or structured than plain se (if).

Compare:

• se la stampante non si blocca = if the printer doesn’t jam
• purché la stampante non si blocchi = provided that the printer doesn’t jam

The second one stresses a condition more strongly.

Because purché normally requires the subjunctive in Italian.

So after purché, you usually use the subjunctive mood:

• purché ... si blocchi
• not normally purché ... si blocca

Here si blocchi is the present subjunctive of bloccarsi.

This is a very common pattern:

• Ti aiuto, purché tu sia sincero. = I’ll help you, provided that you are sincere.
• Vengo, purché ci sia tempo. = I’ll come, as long as there is time.

So the sentence is a good example of:
main clause + purché + subjunctive

Si blocchi comes from the verb bloccarsi, which means to get stuck, to jam, to freeze, or to stop working properly, depending on context.

Here it refers to the printer, so it means something like:

• to jam
• to freeze up
• to get stuck again

The si is part of the verb bloccarsi. This is a very common kind of Italian verb where English often uses an intransitive verb, but Italian uses a pronominal/reflexive form.

Examples:

• La porta si blocca. = The door gets stuck.
• Il computer si blocca. = The computer freezes.
• La stampante si blocca. = The printer jams / freezes.

So si here does not mean itself in a literal English sense. It is just part of how the verb is used.

It is the present subjunctive (congiuntivo presente) of bloccarsi, third person singular.

Conjugation:

• che io mi blocchi
• che tu ti blocchi
• che lui/lei si blocchi
• che noi ci blocchiamo
• che voi vi blocchiate
• che loro si blocchino

In this sentence:

• la stampante = third person singular
• so: si blocchi

Even though the whole sentence refers to the future, Italian often uses the present subjunctive after conjunctions like purché when talking about a future possibility.

Non is just the normal negation: not.

So:

• si blocchi = it jams / gets stuck
• non si blocchi = it doesn’t jam / doesn’t get stuck

The condition is negative:

• provided that the printer does not jam again

There is nothing special or idiomatic about the non here beyond normal negation.

Di nuovo means again or anew.

In this sentence:

• non si blocchi di nuovo = doesn’t jam again

You could often also use ancora:

• non si blocchi ancora

But di nuovo more clearly means again, one more time.
Ancora can also mean still / yet, so sometimes di nuovo avoids ambiguity.

Compare:

• Si è bloccata di nuovo. = It jammed again.
• È ancora bloccata. = It is still jammed.

So di nuovo is a very clear choice here.

Italian uses definite articles more often than English.

Here:

• la versione cartacea = the paper version
• la stampante = the printer

This sounds perfectly natural in Italian, even in places where English might sometimes be less explicit depending on context.

The article helps identify the specific thing being discussed:

• the paper version of the document/process already known
• the printer involved in the situation

Leaving the article out here would be ungrammatical.

Yes:

• Archivierò = I will archive / I will file
• anche = also
• la versione cartacea = the paper version
• purché = provided that / as long as
• la stampante = the printer
• non si blocchi = does not jam / does not get stuck
• di nuovo = again

So a very literal version is:

I will also archive the paper version, provided that the printer does not get stuck again.

A more natural English translation might be:

I’ll also file the hard copy, as long as the printer doesn’t jam again.

It is definitely common and perfectly normal, but it sounds a bit more structured or careful than very basic everyday se.

You will hear and read it in normal Italian, especially when someone wants to express a condition clearly:

• Va bene, purché tu arrivi in orario. = Fine, as long as you arrive on time.
• Lo faccio, purché mi aiutiate. = I’ll do it, provided that you help me.

So it is not stiff or unusual, but it does sound a little more precise than a simple if.

Yes. A few natural alternatives are:

• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea, a condizione che la stampante non si blocchi di nuovo.
• Archivierò anche la versione cartacea, se la stampante non si blocca di nuovo.
• Archivierò anche la copia cartacea, purché la stampante non si inceppi di nuovo.

These are similar, but not identical:

• purché / a condizione che = stronger sense of provided that
• se = simpler if
• si inceppi can be more specifically jam for a printer

The original sentence is very natural and well-formed.
