Each version of SymPy has only been tested with the latest version of IPython at the time it was released. You can probably use the old location of the ipython printing extension, which was in IPython somewhere.
I would recommend trying to get a newer SymPy and IPython, as both of those are quite ancient versions at this point (especially the SymPy one). SymPy is pure Python (as is IPython if you only care about terminal support). It should be easy enough to install them.
