Seconding this method Jerra S suggests:
" you could have them fill the form online, and then generate an already-filled PDF, which is okay that it's print-only, because they are just going to print it and stick it in an envelope."

PDFs for print are exempt from accessibility requirements.

However, it would be much more beneficial and useful to users if it was digitally accessible as well.
