For items under the `Print` menu, you should be calling a report directly (qweb template)

You can do this by having the following defined in an xml file in a module:

<template id="template_name">
    <div class="page">
        <!-- Report template defined here -->
    </div>
</template>

<template id="print_template_name">
<t t-call="report.html_container">
    <t t-foreach="docs" t-as="o">
        <t t-call="module_name.template_name"/>
        </t>
    </t>
</template>

<report
            id="your_report_print"
            model="model.name"
            string="Your Report Name"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="module_name.print_template_name"
            file="module_name.print_template_name"
            attachment="'Attachment Name.pdf'"
/>

 

If the intended use is to actually call a python function from this menu - then I would advise to define an Action.
This way - you can call a wizard form, and a fairly free to do what you please from it. (i.e have a button on it which calls your function)

You would do this with the following:
