You were close!

Although the "regular" story is at a URL that is of the form:

http://news\.yahoo\.com(.*)

as you used in your filter, you must look at the link in the feed page. Hover on one of the links and you'll find a bunch of stuff before that. And that stuff is irrelevant. To capture the link properly, you must filter on:

(.*)//news\.yahoo\.com(.*)

which will match the link, regardless of the junk before the "http:"

Now to filter, you must use:

http://news.yahoo.com$2&printer=1;

The same as yours, except there should be no / before the $2 and the $1 in yours has become $2 here, because now $1 is the junk up to "http:", that we don't need.
