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.

I was hoping a Mod/Admin could sticky this thread. It seems to have been very useful via all the Reps and PMs I've gotten about it.

Updated the first post with Safari information.

I am in the same boat. I have both a PC and a Mac. The PC won't print the coupons.com because I'm still using windows 98 or something like that. Says it won't support my operating system. The Mac won't print because I'm using a browser that is too new, apparently. I get the "printing coupons" icon, but nothing ever comes out. I even went back in and changed some kind of settings in my operating system YIKES! because the help button told me to, but it still didn't work. I hate to admit it, but one of the reasons I bought the Mac was because I didn't want to upgrade to windows vista on my PC and I wanted to be able to print coupons. Sadly, that investment hasn't paid off at all.
As for Mac, are you using Safari?
Did you try FireFox on your Mac?

I have only done that once or twice but I have never been able to go back later and print the second coupon...others may know a way around it ..I just know from my own experience. I'm not sure if that's what you meant but I hope it helps

I was so hoping this was going to solve my bricks coupon printing problems, with the endless loop of install messages.
Honestly I think that was a prize from MCR and they are ONE TIME USE links (well, you can print twice if you hit back)....so even if you cash out for a BOGO coupon on MCR, then copy and paste the link after printing it to another computer, it won't work.
