If you can use JPluck (the now unsupported Java version of the Plucker desktop
but still very usable), you can rewrite the url of the wired rss feeds to point
to the printer-friendly version. Below is an extract what I use on the Top
Stories rss feed.
<feed structure="links">
<name>Wired News</name>
<uri
maxDepth="1">http://www.wired.com/news/feeds/rss2/0,2610,,00.xml</uri>
<uriRewrite pattern=".*"
value="${str:substitute(str:substitute(str:substitute(uri, '.html.*', '.html'),
'/news/.*/', '/news/print/'), '/0,[0-9]+,' , '/0,1294,' )}"/>
</feed>
Basic idea: if you examine the URLs for both the web and printer-friendly
versions of a Wired News story, you will notice common elements. The
uriRewrite takes care of changing them.
