How to Fix Problems Printing Online Coupons

Printing coupons has become more common now that the Internet is so popular and more people use it for everyday tasks. Many of the discount coupons that you see listed on this site and around the Internet are from Bricks. You can tell if the coupons are generated from the Bricks service if you see bricks.coupons.com in the address.

Sometimes there are errors and the coupons won’t print. The screen comes up blank and the words, Please Wait… or something similar shows up on the screen.

If you can print successfully without errors then you don’t need to change anything. This article is to help those who come up with errors or cannot print coupons online.

Here are some simple things you can do to fix printing problems:

First you want to make sure the coupon printer add-on is installed. When you click a link to print the coupon you will get a screen that looks similar to this. If the plug-in is installed the Print Now button will be at the bottom. If it is not installed the button will probably say something like Install Plug-in.

Second, if you get one of those messages simple change 2 characters in the URL in the Address bar to make it work.

Here is an example of a Bricks URL:

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

Do you see the wg in bold in the URL above. Simply change whatever shows up in the URL you are given to the follow depending on your browser:

• Firefox: change to wg
• Internet Explorer: change to wi
• Safari: change to vi

Now this is not an exact science so you will need to experiment to find out which code works for you. But changing the 2-digit characters in the URL will make them print.

Another thing you can do to solve problems with online coupons or even with other website loading problems is to delete the cookie for that site that is stored on your computer.

How do you delete cookies just for a specific site?

Firefox:

Internet Explorer:

1. Click on the Tools menu at the top of the screen.
2. Click Internet Options.
3. Click the Settings button under Browsing history.
4. Click View Files.
5. Click the Search button at the top of the window that opens.
6. Click All files and folders on the left hand side of the screen.
7. Search for mycoke.
8. Delete the corresponding cookies in the window.

Hopefully this will help you to fix problems you might have when you try to printing online coupons.
