Few more updates... I am documenting all of these so somebody else can use it to write a new recipe easier:

This code removes the hyperlinks as well as line breaks. You cannot fine Hyperlinks in real magazine.

PHP Code:
    preprocess_regexps     = [(re.compile(r'<br[ ]*/>'re.IGNORECASE), lambda m''),
                              (
re.compile(r'<br[ ]*clear.*/>'re.IGNORECASE), lambda m''),
                              (
re.compile(r'<a.*?>'), lambda h1''),
                              (
re.compile(r'</a>'), lambda h2'')
                              ] 
This code uses the correct Print page. B/c we have few RSS sources and each have its own Print page.

PHP Code:
    def print_version(selfurl):
        print 
url
        
if url.find('/Journal/article.asp?HH_ID=') >= 0:
            return 
self.browser.open_novisit(url).geturl().replace('/Journal/article.asp?HH_ID=''/Journal/Print.asp?Id=')
        
elif  url.find('/News/article.asp?HH_ID=') >= 0:
            return 
self.browser.open_novisit(url).geturl().replace('/News/article.asp?HH_ID=''/Journal/Print.asp?Id=')
        
elif  url.find('/Resources/TechLib.asp?HH_ID=') >= 0:
            return 
self.browser.open_novisit(url).geturl().replace('/Resources/TechLib.asp?HH_ID=''/Resources/PrintRessource.asp?Id='
This is the latest code so far. It is running really well. Maybe still few hiccups.

Spoiler:
