Problems printing Bricks coupons? This may fix your problem!

If this has been answered already (or isn't the best forum) I apologize; I did a search and this tech support thread is the closest I found.

I know a lot of people here use the bricks & copuons.com coupons, so presumably they're reliable. I was wondering though - do their (required) apps do anything uncouth? Do they monitor my usage habits, have any ads or spam associated with them, etc? Or is it just for them to create unique IDs and prevent me from printing multiple copies or pdfs?

Thanks in advance!

Well I installed vista on the problematic xp laptop, clean install, and guess what....still can't print bricks coupons! I set it up exactly like my vista desktop....exactly, same browser settings, same IE addons loaded, even same printer....and the laptop can't print them while my computer prints them fine. Really infuriating, not sure what else to try.

I have the zip code issue, but no I've never used multiples.

I have a question. I thought I read somewhere that you could use IE or FF and get 2 coupons from bricks and then go to Safari on the same computer and print 2 more. Now if this is true, how do you get the dang coupon printer to install on Safari? It downloads something but it never installs. I tried on an XP and a Vista computer with no luck.

thanks, I have been doing this for about a month now and works great!

I have a problem with the barcode not printing on the coupon occasionally. Anyone else? Any fixes? TIA

It's 2 per computer, no matter what browser.

I have vista, I can't get coupons.com or any bricks to print. I originally was able to. I am wondering if once the "upgrade" was done on the computer if this messed something up. Ever since you have to put on your zip code that was when they stopped printing. Does anybody have any luck with the newest version of firefox, the 3.2? 2.0 and 3.0 firefox do not work for me. Originally I did not have firefox and they printed. I've exhausted all my options, unless you have another solution??? thanks......

Quote from Ryan's Mom : I do it all the time. I double backclick as soon as the 1st print starts, make sure the coupon is at the top of the page and cancel as soon as the coupon part has printed. I'm so cheap that I even flip the sheet of paper and print the 2nd coupon on the bottom of the same sheet, canceling as soon as the second coupon has printed.

AWESOME tip! Thanks so much!

I'd post your question in the Tech Support Forum. They are really great over there and I'm sure someone can help you. HTH.

Yep, I do this all the time, saves paper and ink. I have an Epson printer and there is a very predictable pause in the printing and if I listen for it and hit the stop button on the printer then, it with have printed just the coupon at the top of the page and doesn't print the advertising that usually prints below a bricks coupon.

Something weird is happening. When I print out my manu cous for some reason on two of the coupons the bar code does not show up completely but on the very last one it prints fine. It has done this for two seperate coupons.

Quote from yngdiego : PM me for the details. I found an old message with the registry key that needs to be edited. I don't want to make the information public as they may make their software smarter. Note that you likely need VMware Workstation 6.0 or later and a USB printer, as you need the USB printer connected to the VM. I don't think any MS virtualization products support USB devices.

Sent you PM couple of days ago and haven't heard. Could someone PM me with the registry hack? TIA.

I'm not too computer literate but I've been trying to get my computer to print coupons for a looong time and then found this thread. YAY!! But I still cna't get it to print. I've installed the printer lots of times but it never gets beyond this .http://bricks.coupons.com/Install...r=&pc=&tc=
According to the 1st pg of this thread, the word "start" appears where "install" appears. I tried changing install and the wg and others but nothing helps. Any ideas for me? Thanks!!!!

So if you make multiple copies then bricks and coupons.com shuts you off from printing by blocking your IP Address
