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.

OS X 10.5.6, Safari v3.2.1
I went so far as to uninstall windows xp service pack 3 in order to go back to internet explorer 6 today, and still no joy. Must I totally reinstall their OS?
I have tried every browser there is basically, IE 6, 7, 8 beta, firefox, netscape, safari, it makes no difference for me. It's the same result everytime with a bricks or coupons.com coupon, with bricks it goes to the funky looking page with a zip code box...when I enter a zip code an animation appears but it never starts to print anything. With coupons.com, it keeps telling me to install the coupon printer program which I have a million times (as well as uninstalling, then clearing cookies, cache, temp files etc).
I am not an expert, but would consider myself average at solving these types of problems. I can not begin to list all the things I have tried. Including 3 different printers....I don't think it's a printer issue. I have tried virtually all the security setting combos in the various browsers. This has to be one of the most annoying and difficult troubleshooting tasks I have ever come across.
Just wondering if by some chance anyone else has some more ideas. Considering my parents use their laptop about half the time just for printing coupons, Id really like to find a solution, without reinstalling the operating system, but Ill do it if I have to.
I recently had a problem with SD suddenly looking completely wrong (no graphics at all) and it turned out to be because of a recent update to Adblock Plus (FF plug-in).
I also did extensive spyware, registry error, and virus scans.
I could write a book on all the different things I tried. None of it had any effect. I can see I am not alone, as a poll on another forum shows 68 percent of people can not get it to work on their systems. But I thought I would make more progress if I devoted two days to it.
Also, savings123, you PMed me and I tried to reply but it said your private message mailbox was full.
