Thanks, EHOW for showing me how to print a coupon when it keeps saying, “Install the coupon printer” over & over. I’ve been replying to inquiries about why sometimes coupons do that, even when you already did. I knew it had to do with whether you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer. Linda mentioned that she’d read that you can just change the address bar rather than have to install another browser, which made sense, but when I read what she showed me, it didn’t work. I did find it finally at ehow.com and tested it on a coupon below. I’ve been sending you links to install browsers, but here is another way to fix it.
Here’s is a web address (at the top of the “print coupon” page in the address bar) for a $2 Purina coupon for FireFox :
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qknvevz62719874&bt=vg&o=58369&c=NP&p=FkMQO9vZ
note the “vg” in in red? This gives the repeating “Please Install The Coupon Printer” if you use Internet Explorer.
To make that address an Internet Explorer address I changed “vg” to “vi”, and the address at the top of the page, and clicked the ”refresh” button, like this:
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qknvevz62719874&bt=vi&o=58369&c=NP&p=FkMQO9vZ
Meanwhile if you would rather install FireFox and just switch over to it to print some coupons, you can get it free HERE.
Such a small difference, for such different results. Both of these addresses are actual links, so try both and see, especially if you need a $2 coupon for Purina Puppy Chow. Now that I know, I’ll try to make note of this when I post coupons, but sometimes it works for me and I would not have noticed. But, if you have this issue, just let me know in a comment, and I’ll do my best to fix the link to work for you. If you have an Apple, I believe there is a way to fix this too, but I don’t have an Apple, so I’ll have to do some more research on it. Hope this helps! Thanks Linda.
