I would recommend you to use in this case method get_article_url instead of print_version. In get_article_url you have access to the xml and you can override all article entries with print version:

Code:

    def get_article_url(self, article):
        raw_url = article.get('link',  None)
        date_url = article.get('pubDate',  None)
        #Extract values from date_url
        #we assume you have the final version of date string in datestr variable
        datestr = "<processed valid value>"
        art_id = raw_url.rsplit('/article_')[1]
        nurl = raw_url.replace('http://www.somewebsite.com/','http://www.somewebsite.com/print/' + datestr + '/' + art_id)
        return nurl

With such code you do not need print_version at all

Examples of this you can see at various recipes like La prensa, NIN etc.
