Printing Coupon from Coupons.com and Bricks

Ok so all of a sudden this morning printing coupons at both of these websites did not work. Every-time I goto either website it says I have to install the coupon printer. I have downloaded this before because I was able to print coupons before today. I tried using firefox, safari, and google chrome none of them worked. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the coupon printer and no luck. Anyone ever have this problem before when it all of a sudden stopped working? If so any help is much appreciated and Happy Holidays!!!

I only print coupons for myself and adhere to the limit and don't make copies. As I said in a previous post, I have no trouble printing coupons when using Firefox as my browser. which is the opposite of what occurred only a few weeks ago. Since Firefox upgraded to 5.0 I can print with no problem, but when I try to print through Safari it is obvious that coupons.com thinks I have a pc because the directions are for a pc. So I just use Firefox and I'm fine with that. I have no idea why this change occured, but can only assume it has something to do with the upgrade to 5.1.

Message was edited by: laverne's mom I tried to insert a print screen shot but for some reason, it wouldn't work. I must be doing something wrong. When I just tried to copy and paste, firefox hung up, so I tried to explain this as best I could.

Found a work around to print coupons from coupons.com but still cannot print bricks coupons.


The problem is Safari 5.1 (or the couponprinter plugin needs to get updated). I updated Safari to 5.1 and lost the ability to print coupons from coupons.com and bricks coupons.


I entered time machine and restored Safari to version 5.0.5. and was able to print from coupons.com


I haven't found a way yet to print bricks coupons. It keeps asking me to install the coupon printer.

I'm completely frustrated. Been trying to download the coupon printer all day. Have googled everything I can think of. Tried with OSX 10.6.8 using Mozilla 5.0/FF 3.6.19 - I've downloaded the installer and when I click on a coupon to print that's through the Bricks site it freezes my FF. I have to Force Quit FF in order to get away from the screen. ANY suggestions are appreciated!!


PS - I'm a pretty new Mac user and not very tech-savvy so may ask a lot of questions!!!! Beware!!

I just found the issue with printing from our Mac. If you have the following file in your system please delete it then reinstall the coupon printer driver.


Delete this file:

/Library/Application Support/Coupons/cpnprt2.cid


Then go here and re-download and re-install the coupons.com print driver:

http://ftp.coupons.com/safari/MacCouponPrinter.dmg


Hope this helps someone.

I was having coupon printing problems after installing Lion. After a lot of research I realized that Lion does not include Java. Once I downloaded and activated Java I was able to print coupons once again.


I posted a tutorial so other people can avoid some frustration. http://www.mac-software-tutorials.com/coupon-printing-in-lion.html


But now some people have commented that although printing from Coupons.com is working - the coupons are printing very small.


I am not having this problem, but I am wondering if anyone out there has a solution for this issue.

After installing Java I was still not able to print from Coupons.com and after a lot of reading on the web came across a solution that worked for me!


Right click on Safari in Finder (not the Task Bar) and select 'Get Info'. Put a check mark next to the line that reads 'Open in 32-bit mode'.


That's all it took for me to be able to print coupons!

I am having the same problem with my coupons printing tiny! I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.1 and Firefox 8.0 and when I try to print, get the "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/CouponConvertor_v2 failed" message. As suggested on another discussion thread, I tried printing coupons through AOL Desktop for Mac. Not really a solution - just a workaround. The coupons will actually print through AOL Desktop, but they are coming out tiny, about a quarter of the normal size. I don't think any store will accept these! Multiple e-mails to Coupons.com have not yielded any results. I am printing to an Epson CX-4200. If anyone can help me print from Bricks and Coupons.com I would be so grateful! I have not been able to print these coupons since the summer, and this is extremely frustrating to this coupon mom! Thanks!
