OK, I tried it, and it seemed like it worked as I expected. Here's the basic recipe I tried. It only has two things in it, the RSS feed and my suggested replacement:

Spoiler:

from __future__ import with_statement
__license__ = 'GPL 3'
__copyright__ = '2009, Kovid Goyal <kovid@kovidgoyal.net>'
__docformat__ = 'restructuredtext en'

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class Walrus(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'The_Walrus'
__author__ = 'Starson17'
description = 'The_Walrus'
language = 'en'
use_embedded_content = False
no_stylesheets = True
remove_javascript = True
recursions = 1
oldest_article = 90

def print_version(self, url):
return url.replace('articles', 'print')

feeds = [
(u'Main', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/WalrusFeatureArticles')
]

What's happening with your recipe? You said you tried my two suggestions, but I only gave one, the url.replace('articles', 'print') change. The other one was just the quote from the API about how print_version worked.

Edit: I can't work on the merger code because Calibre is busy doing a massive metadata update (I love the automation since Kovid let me add an option that locks author/title).

The code above seemed to pull a pretty clean print version for me, with some links, that when followed were mostly crud. Recursion to 0 would turn that off. You'll have to be more specific on what problems you're having.
