A licensor cannot restrict use of their CC-licensed work to a digital online copy only. Once applied, our licenses are clear that licensees may exercise the rights in any media and format (digital, print, etc.). The same license terms and restrictions continue to apply to the work -- NC in the example you provide.
Tarmo is correct as to dual licensing. If the online copy and the printed copy are the same work as a matter of copyright and the licensor applies a different CC license to each copy, the licensor is offering the same work under two different licenses and a licensee can choose to exercise the rights under whichever without violating the licensor's copyright. We are publishing new FAQs the first of this week which should clear up these and related issues about how the licenses operate. We'll make sure to post those to this list as well as our usual lists once finalized.
