Thread: Problems printing Bricks coupons? This may fix your problem!

Borrowed From Derek on another board


So, everyone uses different browsers, from IE to FireFox to Safari.

Sometimes people paste Coupons.com/Bricks links that they recieved in FireFox, which do not work in Internet Explorer or vice versa. You get the "Please wait..." or "Please Install The Coupon Printer" even if you already did.

This trick will allow you to simply change 2 characters in the URL to make a FireFox link work in Internet Explorer and vice versa

Here's how easy it is, the following is a FireFox link:
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1& c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

note the "wg" in the URL. This link gives the repeating Please Install The Coupon Printer in Internet Explorer.

To make that link an Internet Explorer link we simply change "wg" to "wi" OR "vi" (in this case, both variations work, other coupons it may be wi or vi, trial and error):
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wi&o=53740&ci=1& c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY
or
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=vi&o=53740&ci=1& c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

UPDATE: If you want to print Bricks coupons on a MAC with Safari, replace the "wg", "wi", or "vi" to "xs". You can also do the reverse, take a Safari link "xs" to IE "wi" or "vi" or to FireFox "wg".

You do the opposite if you want to print an Internet Explorer link in FireFox!

PS. I changed http to hxxp so you guys can see the full URL without the forum code making it a clickable link.



You can print smartsource coupons easily, by
downloading and using the free "safari" Browser....

I also happened to see this posted elsewhere and have tried it a few times so I could go ahead and print a coupon in FF instead of taking the link to IE, and it does work!!!

Interesting. I have never been able to print Smartsource coupons at home and tried Firefox and it works. Just bugs me though that I can't print them in IE, I can do it at work, but not at home. You'd think it would be the opposite!

I just wanted to bump this up...the info that tsquared posted is very helpful!

I need the link so i can install it

thanks

This worked for me. Just wanted to bump it for others.

bump

I have a different problem now! It asks me to install the coupon printer, which I did, and I see it in my Programs. Then it wants to upgrade it, which it does. But it keeps coming up with installing the coupon printer over and over and over! Nothing will print. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have that same problem but can't figure it out. Do you have a problem printing from coupons.com? Sometimes I can't print from that one either.
