Quote from BrgnHntr :
Can anyone help me with a computer problem?

I'm trying to print coupons... I get this message: Unfortunately, you're trying to print to a device that is not valid for printing coupons. If you have a multi-function printer (fax, copy, print), please make sure that "Printer" is set as the default function on your computer.

So... how do I set "printer" as the default function?
This is what coupons.com says: http://www.coupons.com/couponweb/....html#faq3

BUT lots of people seem to be having this problem--recently--and I don't see any solutions after a quick glance through these threads:

http://www.afullcup.com/forums/de...-else.html

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/for...95245.html

Here's a whole page of results for that error [google.com]

I'm thinking this coupon printing software is/was screwed up by an update, either from Microsoft, Adobe (Flash Player), or Java, and they may be scrambling to fix it up... I guess you can try reinstalling your printer, reinstalling Flash Player, and reinstalling Java, although that's a screaming pain in the dick & you shouldn't have to do it either.

That error doesn't make sense. A multifunction printer with a proper driver is going to know what you're sending its way unless the software you're using to send the whatever is no good. You'd have to work pretty hard to get a scanner or a fax machine set as your default printer, and I can't begin to figure out how to set ONE function of an MFP as a default while ignoring the others.

All of that said--what operating system, what make & model of printer, what browser are you using, have you recently run a check for Windows updates, have you recently installed any other updates (Adobe, Java, etc), anything else changed on your machine since the last time you printed coupons successfully?

And VQ still has not painted my toenails. Whip slacker.

Down I couldn't print the coupon for the Behr (oil-based) semi-gloss in chartreuse because of the Interwebz being all broken and junk. Sadwalk

Plus I need to paint 10 toes so I don't feel weird about an odd number...

Just chuck your computer and printer out the window.
Weirdly enough, it printed tonight. It just picks random times to print. Hate them. Coupons.com/bricks are evil.

ooohhhhh fark.you.

Quote from Thrifteh :
Jenni, I have the same problem with smartsource. My friend said she encountered the same thing where only the jpeg/icon would print. She said uninstall/reinstall java. I'm just too lazy to do it so IDK.
I'll try that tomorrow. Smartsource is still acting nuts. We did update java, so maybe that's it. Oh, crap...but I just got bricks to start printing again (until it decides to mess up) and they have more coupons I use. Maybe I'll wait. I don't know. I hate computers. Have I mentioned that?

Yes you are. And you're more afraid that I know your wife. Mad

I am not posting another toe pic for you ....tonight. And can't I get something more in the pink family?
On an OCD note, when you paint ALL TEN from left to right is that from my left or your left?

Frown Poor baby.... Didn't he get tubes? How does he have an ear infection? What antibiotic are you giving him?
Yeah, but they've been out for a while now. He can still get ear infections. Dontknow Many kids need tubes multiple times. I'm not thinking that's the case with him since this is his first one in forever. :knock on wood:

He's on Amoxicillin (sp?). I'm trying to remember if this is the one he was on before that didn't work for shit.

Jamie had to have them several times and then the dr said screw it. He said if he took Claritin or Zyrtec pretty much forever, then it would keep the fluid out of his ears (since his is mostly sinus problems) and he probably wouldn't have to have them anymore. Otherwise, it was back to the hospital.

Faint Yeah, but... Fark NO! I was told tubes would mean no more infections! Ranting


Ahem. Yeah, amox sucks. But the alternative is so expensive!! Omnicef - works great, costs a fortune.

Speaking of a fortune - the surgery center charged my insurance $11,000 for BT's tubes. WTF??? They took $600/ear from them and $200 from me. I haven't gotten the anesthesiology bill yet. Annoyed Pisses me off that they think charging $11K is OK.

Yeah, the kid is on Zyrtec and a nose spray and he still got one. Frown I have an air purifier and use one of those super expensive filters for my a/c. I don't know what else to do. Poor kiddo gets it from me.

Amoxicillan is crap.
See if they'll give him antibiotic ear drops with the orals. They always did that for Jamie and it works better.

The kid didn't get one at all for years so I'm sure you'll be good for a while. This is his first one since the day his tubes were put in and that was quite a while ago (3 years? I don't remember.). Smilie

If the amox doesn't work (he's had this cough for weeks), I'll have to get it switched to something else. He's coughing just as much as he was when I took him in last week.
