Carbon-based ink on archival-grade paper is known to last 400 years. If I
was really really worried about preserving some information for a thousand
years, I think I'd etch it into aluminum plates and seal them in a dry box,
but carbon-ribbon impact printing on museum-grade line-printer paper is
pretty darn close, and tractable.
