Help, I Can Not Get Those Coupons to Print!

Do you ever get frustrated when you try to print a coupon and it keeps telling you to install the coupon printer over and over again. You have already installed the printer but you go ahead and install it again. You go and try to print the coupon and it still tells you to install the coupon printer over and over again. By this time you want to through the computer out the window. It can be very frustrating when you just have to have that coupon $1/2 Kraft Cheese coupon an it just will not print. I have so many emails about this problem this week. I just had to write a post about it.

The issue is not your computer or you printer. It is the browser you are using.  Some coupons are coded to print for different browsers. Fire Fox has a code, Internet Explorer has code, and Safari has its own code.

I have a trick I use to solve this problem. I change the code to work for the browser I am using.  So, how do I do that you ask.

Here is how:

Look at the URL code to see if it works for the browser you are using. Here is example of what you are looking for.

Note: Look at  the bold letters.

Example: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qj2tegb81263684&bt=wg&o=58953&c=KR&p=M2Iiymf4

The bold letters in the URL is a code for Firefox.

Here are the codes you will want to change the URL to depending on the browser you are using.

Internet Explorer: Change to  wi or vi

Firefox: Change to wg or vg

Safari: Change  to vi or xs

I can not guarantee that this will work every time but most of the time I do it, it works.  You may also want to first copy the URL change the code and the paste it back into the address bar.

Thanks, Shannon and Melissa!
