You break the namespace chain here.

If "record_info" is indead a DTML document (and not a method!),
then you should nevertheless be able to access "LookupPrinter"
by acquisition.
I do not know, why it does not work.

You can avoid to break the namespace chain:
  <dtml-call "parsefile(_)">

  def parsefile(self,namespace):
    self.record_info(None,namespace,arg1=value1,....)
