You'd need to use VBA. Put these in your workbook code module

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With Range("A1")
.Value = Date
.NumberFormat = "dd mmm yyyy"
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave( _
ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
With Range("A1")
.Value = Date
.NumberFormat = "dd mmm yyyy"
End With
End Sub

adjust the range reference as desired. Note that this will put the date
in even if the user cancels the save or print.

Also, how about the "Last Printed" or "Last Saved" date saved to a cell in
the spreadsheet.
