Coupon Printing problems?

Posted by admin on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 at 5:32 pm

Here is a quick tutorial on how to get Bricks coupons to print (most of the time).

If you are printing bricks coupons, you can run into some problems with printing if you are in a different browser than the link is designed for.
If you keep getting a message that you need to install the coupon plug in after you know that it’s already been installed or the screen comes up blank you may need to change the URL in your browser. This will not work if you haven’t installed the coupon plug in.

This is a bricks URL that you will find in your browser –

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qeqtcle98091761&bt=vg&o=55121&c=HP&p=vqyJiFtU

What you need to do is change the bolded letters above in the URL to match your browser. This will usually get them to print.

Firefox: change to wg or vg
Google Chrome – I have not found a way to print these in Chrome.
Internet Explorer: change to wi
Safari: change to vi

if none of these work: change to xg

Give this a whirl. Sometimes I find that a different code will work in the wrong browser and vice versa.

If you are printing Smartsouce coupons with no success, try changing to Safari for your browser. I have had much more success in Firefox or Safari than IE. Also, I have been successful printing them in the Google Chrome browser. Make sure that your pop up blocker is off when trying to print Smart Source.

Problems printing coupon.com coupons? Instead of going to the site, try printing it from the quick print feature coupon bar on my sidebar -Apparently it prints different and quicker than the actual site.

Thanks FortheMamas for this how to!

    What about target coupons? Since they changed their format I have been unable to print. I get the messaage "your coupon is printing" but nothing happens!

    I don't understand what "ss" means to get a coupon. For instance, today there is a "ss" for 50 cents for Pepperidge Farm cookies. This can be doubled, of course, so I would save a dollar.
    BUT, I went to Supersavers and I went to smartsource, and neither had a Pepperidge Farm coupon. Am I missing something here? Is there a link to explain to me how "My Dallas Mommy" works?

    The SS you are referring too is the Smart Source insert… on the right side of my page their is some lingo… this might help :)

    Coupon Lingo

    RP – Red Plum coupon insert
    P – Procter & Gamble insert
    SS or S- Smart Source coupon insert
    V – Valassis coupon insert
    GM – General Mills coupon insert
    C – Campbell's coupon insert
    WYB – "When you buy…"
    BOGO – "Buy one, get one" (or B2G1,etc.)
    MB2 – "Must buy 2" (or MB3, etc.) Q – Coupon
    MQ – Manufacturer's Coupon
    Catalina – Coupons printed by the store, at the register
    Blinkie – Coupons hung where products are located
    Peelie – Coupons stuck to products
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Other info:
    S1 – 1st Smart Source coupon insert when there are 2
    S2 – 2nd Smart Source coupon insert when there are 2
    Same system would apply to more than one of any type of insert.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Reading the list: ".75/2 (SS 11/4) " means…. Seventy-five cents off two items. Found in Smart Source insert in the November 4th Sunday paper.
