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.

I have to uncheck the " keep printed document" box ( right click the printer >> property >> advance tab ). it always goes back to "checked" by defult. How do I manually over ride this? I seen it around on this site but can not find it now.
Something about internet option folder something ?????????????

1. I checked the URL and the "xs" is already there. I didn't need to replace it.
2. I installed their coupon printer successfully.
Now...when I print, it looks like something is happening on the screen. There is a cheesy animated graphic showing a computer connecting to a printer. But then nothing happens! Did I miss some crucial step to get this to work?

This is exactly what I did (use Safari, not Firefox):
On a MAC with Safari, replace the "wg", "wi", or "vi" to "xs".
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm having a heck of a time even trying to download the coupon printing software on my mac. Everytime I try to download it says installation failed. Perhaps someone can help me? Thank you.

But if that's not the problem, then all you need to do is open up either Safari or Firefox browser (like the last person posted), go to the Bricks coupon page that you want, and then change the two letters in the URL code in the address bar. The instructions are posted in the very first page of this thread.
