Esquire.com Blogs Print Article links

First off: I'm brand new at this. This is only the second recipe I've tried to write

I'm trying to set up a recipe for Esquire.com blogs, since just the basic doesn't seem to work properly. But I'm running into a problem with swapping out URLs for the print version:

Regular version (via RSS):
http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture...er-at-olympics

Print version:
http://www.esquire.com//print-this/w...mpics?page=all

I know how to sub in '?page=all', but I'm not sure how to swap out 'blogs/culture' for '/print-this'. Also, if I'm looking at the politics blog, it would be 'blogs/politics' (and other changes for different sections)

So two questions:

1. How do I swap out stuff in the middle of the URL?
2. Do I need to write a rule for each feed? Or is there some other way around that?
