    Code:
     if(self.db.char.Sets[set] == nil) then
      self:Print("No sets defined")
      return
    	end
    for example

    the print function is part of Ace2 (AceConsole-2.0) and uses the global variable DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME to determine the chatframe for output (all other non ace2 addons use this as well I guess).
    Code:
    local function print(text, name, r, g, b, frame, delay)
    ...
    		(frame or DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME):AddMessage(last_color and "|cff" .. last_color .. t or t, r, g, b, nil, delay or 5)
    ...
    end
    This variable is set in Blizzards ChatFrame.lua (part of the default UI)
    Code:
    "DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME = ChatFrame1;"
    So try to write a small addon, that changes it or add the line to any addon to change it to ChatFrame2 or any Frame you want (if it doesn't exist, you get tons of errors )

    if you want to only change that addon messages. just change the "self:Print("No sets defined")" for
    "ChatFrame2:AddMessage("No Sets defined")". change chatframe2 but whatever chat frame.

    if you want to change the whole /print function. change the "(frame or DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME)" by whatever chatframe you want
    Code:
    local function print(text, name, r, g, b, frame, delay)
    ...
    		ChatFrame2:AddMessage(last_color and "|cff" .. last_color .. t or t, r, g, b, nil, delay or 5)
    ...
    end
