 * I have seen some templates, but still I haven’t found any WordPress template 
   ++ which can produce this: **a news site **(magazine, newspaper-like) with articles
   with several pictures, printer friendly output of article, send article to friend,
   comments with security like captcha…Do I have to go to eZ publish?

 * You will never find a theme that does all that.
    Mainly, because your “requirement
   list” is NOT theme-related. Those features are all available with plugins.

 * I am a bit confused; basically I thought themes were more like layouts, while
   plugins were pieces of fuctionality. I have tried to add plugins stating they
   were able to do these things, but then they were incompatible with the themes…?
   Am I stupid?

 * OK, the magazine-like look is a theme design issue, and I have seen quite a few
   good ones.
 * The rest of “funcionality” is plugins.
    I don’t really understand the plugin-
   theme incompatibility.

 * Let’s break it down.
    - a news site (magazine, newspaper-like) = theme
    - articles with several pictures = the content you put in
    - printer friendly output of article = theme (use a print stylesheet)
    - send article to friend – plugin
    - comments with security like captcha – plugin, but captchas are evil so don’t
      use them
 * Break it down into pieces. First find a theme that is simple but looks more or
   less like you want it to look like. Customize it yourself to make it look better.
   Add your own print stylesheet to it for nice print-outs (this is better than 
   trying to use a plugin… see my own site for an example, just print any post and
   watch the magical transformation). Then add plugins to do the other things you
   want to do.
 * I too do not understand what you mean by “incompatible”. Plugins and themes cannot
   really be incompatible.
