EUR-Lex: Official Journal – legally binding printed editions
Since Regulation No. 2024/741 came into force on 14 March 2024, the exceptional printed edition of the Official Journal (published, with legal effects, in the case of disrupted information systems) will only be considered authentic until the systems are restored and the electronic version is made available on EUR-Lex. From then on, only the electronic edition would be now considered authentic. There have been three such cases since 1 July 2013, which can be found in the link above.
