Yes, ed is a small, powerful tool – if you know how (and when!) to use it wisely, it can certainly save the day. But somehow I wonder (please don’t get me wrong on that): Why did you compile the cheat sheet? In my humble opinion, the manpage is basically just as good. (It is slightly longer, but it also covers a few more issues.) If you prefer to read it on paper, you can run

man -t ed

to have the manpage pretty-printed as PostScript. Redirect the output into a file, or pipe it directly to the printer.
