Hello,

The calibre User's Manual offers an example on modifying the url to fetch the Print Version of some bbc articles. I would like to accomplish the same thing with WSJ and NYT Business articles.

In the case of the bbc website, the Print Version differs from the normal url with a particular prefix, as shown in the User's Manual example.

However, with the wsj and nyt sites, the Print Version requires a suffix to the normal url, here illustrated with an example from the wsj:

Normal:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122973431525523215.html

Print Version: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122973431525523215.html#printMode

Can anyone help with the correct python code to direct it to append "#printmode" (in the case of wsj) to the end of each article's url?

Thank you.
