No, and it must not be filed with the court, except as an exhibit to a possible future motion to compel discovery.

The courts want the least amount of paperwork possible.

No, you don't file discovery. The propounding party keeps the original, and the copy goes to the responding party. The responding party keeps a copy, and serves the original on the propounding party. Originals must be kept until six months after the litigation is resolved.
