I was sent a link to some coupons the other day that I would have liked to get.
But the app coughed at my printer or something.
If you have a moment, can you get this to work?
I told the proved that this site has never worked for my Mac, but perhaps it's some thing else.
Coupons.com

Please Y or N and
What OSX and printer you run.

Thanks,

It worked for me. MBP running Lion w/ an HP laserjet P1606dn printer. I did have to dl some "coupon printing" sw which never opens a print dialog box -- it just sends it direct to the printer.

Works for me, SL with HP Laserjet 1012. Coupons.com won't work via Safari, but does work with Firefox. Have you tried a browser change?

Works for me on an 2009 iMac9,1 using Safari 5.1.2 and SL and Brother Laser HL-2170W. Did need to install the MacCouponPrinter.dmg software. As Abevilac stated, it sends the coupon directly to the printer with no preview of any kind. LyleH

My printer isn't usually hooked up, so I always save as a PDF from the print command, then print all at once. Maybe it would print PDFs?

Have you tried this?

Coupons.com absolutely will not let you print to PDF, not will any of the major coupon sites. The page to print is sent directly to the printer, and you will not have an opportunity to save as a PDF, preview, or anything else.

Many (most?) printers will save the items to print in queue for when you do have the printer available.

Then what about taking a screen shot? I haven't tried this, just thinking out loud.

Won't be able to screencap it either. You will never see the actual coupon in a form that is redeemable before you print it.

The point of the coupon printing installer Abevilac referenced is to reduce fraud. It limits the number of coupons a single machine can print, and ensures that each printed coupon carries a unique identification code. The barcode is the same on each coupon, but there is another code on each coupon that uniquely identifies it. By doing this, if one coupon is photocopied, each print will carry the same identifier and in theory the coupon distributor can trace it back. Each of the major coupon sources operate in this manor.

does this work with coupons.com? when wife was printing coupons, she had to install some MacCouponPrinter.dmg and that damn thing send the file directly to the printer, it bypasses the usual Print dialog. It also keeps track of how many you print and after 3 coupons for the same item it doesn't allow you to print more
