Printing Coupons 101

I have been meaning to do this since Kim, over at My City Mommy, posted this GREAT piece of advice on printing coupons. And now, that the beginning of a new month is upon us, which means a NEW stock of printable coupons, I thought there were a few things worth sharing.

Do you ever feel like this when you are trying to print coupons? I wanted to teach you how to print bricks coupons whether your browser is Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.

TIP #1

If you are having problems printing a bricks coupon you can easily solve the problem by changing two letters in the url.

This is an example of a bricks coupon:

The highlighted letters in the url are the letters you'll need to change depending on your browser to make the coupon print.

Here are the letters you should use instead:

Internet Explorer: vi or wi
Firefox: vg or wg

Safari: xs


TIP #2

Make sure your printer has paper, ink, and is plugged in. I have lost more than a few coupons because my printer wasn't on, but the silly coupon didn't recognize that and thought it had printed. So, I lost it.

Also, most printable coupons can be printed twice. As soon as the first one prints, hit the browser back button about 2 or three times until you see the computer and the printer icons.


I will put this tip on the sidebar under Printing Coupons 101 and add to it if I think of another printing coupon tip.
