This just happened to me a week ago. One interviewer I spoke to didn't have a copy and luckily I had a few in my folder with me. It shows preparedness on your part as an interviewee.
Not to mention that A) they might go through your CV there and then, and it's easier for you to answer questions if you have a copy and B) recruitment agencies tend to mangle CVs, I like to turn up with a nice LaTeX produced CV to replace the pasted-into-Word monstrosity they usually have before them.
Same here, happened today.
Over the past few weeks I had pretty much decided my printed resume was a waste, but I kept bringing them 'just in case'.
Today, first case out of maybe 10-15 where I needed a printed copy. However, I was talking to the founder... so it definitely was worth it. Again, it would have taken a minute to print a copy in the office, but it shows a nice touch of forethought... IMO.
At the very least, I like to have a copy to help meyself follow along.

Not necessarily a bad idea. I've been on interviews where the interviewer was in a rush, and didn't have a hard copy of my resume on them.
