After another season at AIK in the HockeyAllsvenskan, Printz was ordered to North America by the Philadelphia Flyers in the summer of 2004 .

At the end of May 2012 he was signed by the new KHL participant HC Slovan Bratislava , but only completed one KHL game for Slovan because he could not prevail within the team. Therefore, his contract was terminated in mid-October 2012.
