I've added support for anandtech.com article pages using the following code in the switch statement:

          case /www\.anandtech\.com\/[^/]*\/showdoc\.aspx\?i=[0-9]*/.test(href):
      	window.location.href = href.replace(/[^/]*\/showdoc/, 'printarticle');
      	/* Original: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3404
                 Printable: http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3404 */
              break;

Please feel free to use this code.

Does not work for washingtonpost.com

Do you need any extra info to diagnose the issue?

I am using FF 2.0.0.10 with Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0 and Autoprint 2.0 on Mac OS X Leopard
