Theoretically working daily? (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on paper

'theoretically' is the definition.
('on paper' can be a synonym of 'theoretically')

'working daily?' is the wordplay.
'working' becomes 'on'.
'daily?' becomes 'paper' (newspaper).
'on'+'paper'='ON PAPER'

(Other definitions for on paper that I've seen before include "Planned (in theory)" , "Where one might write" , "Exam may be" , "Theoretically" , "Theoretical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
