if not, pleas tell me where to look.
and thank you starson for the help so far. i think this message was posted in orderly fation

I don't understand the 'he' language but i think this will work for you.
What I done was split the returned url and then appended it it sort of like you were doing. I put some print statements in there so you can see what is actually being used as the final print_url when you run
ebook-convert yourecipenamehere.recipe output_dir --test -vv >myrecipe.txt
when you run that you can see the print statements in the myrecipe.txt

use this for your print_url code

Spoiler:

def print_version(self, url):
        split1 = url.split("=")
        print 'THE SPLIT IS: ', split1 
       
        print_url = 'http://www.themarker.com/ibo/misc/printFriendly.jhtml?ElementId=%2Fibo%2Frepositories%2Fstories%2Fm1_2000%2F' + split1[1]+'.xml'
        print 'THIS URL WILL PRINT: ', print_url # this is a test string to see what the url is it will return
        return print_url
