Trouble printing Bricks coupons?

Posted on | April 28, 2009 | 2 Comments

Every now and then I have trouble printing coupons. I came across this information about getting Bricks coupons to print and wanted to share it, I thought some of you might have problems as well and this is a quick and easy fix.

So, everyone uses different browsers, from IE to FireFox to Safari. I use FireFox (FF). Sometimes the links I post are for Internet Explorer (IE) and won’t work in FF or vice versa. You get the “Please wait…” or “Please Install The Coupon Printer” even if you already did. Frustrating to say the least, especially if it is a good coupon.

This trick will allow you to simply change 2 characters in the URL to make a FireFox link work in Internet Explorer or an IE link work in FF.

Here’s how easy it is, the following is a FireFox link:
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qc1sduv44162784&bt=wg&o=55102&c=WB&p=cZaTdVY5

Notice the “wg” in the URL. This link is what causes the Please Install The Coupon Printer in Internet Explorer.

To make that link an Internet Explorer link we simply change “wg” to “wi” OR “vi” (It may be wi or vi, you just have to give it the old trial and error):

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qc1sduv44162784&bt=wi&o=55102&c=WB&p=cZaTdVY5

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qc1sduv44162784&bt=vi&o=55102&c=WB&p=cZaTdVY5

Now if you start with an IE link you just reverse the scenario.

If you want to print Bricks coupons on a MAC with Safari, replace the “wg”, “wi”, or “vi” to “xs”. Reverse the scenario if necessary.

It may seem a little complicated at first, but it’s just changing two letters to get the coupons to print. If you have any questions just e-mail me or leave a comment. Write this down somewhere that you can easily refer to it in the future, it will come in handy.

Thanks to tsquared!

Hi, i have been trying to print coupons using your site; however, it has been a unsuccessful job. I really need help to try to figure this out. I have tried changing the wi to vi or the reverse, but this has not worked for me. I have internet explorer.

I had the same problem with my computer a while ago. I ended up switching to Mozilla Fire Fox and that finally fixed it. I will see what I can find out and e-mail you. Thanks for reading my blog!
