The other thing which occured to me (After trashing my W7 Beta) is trying Firefox 3, if it's IE that's giving the problems this should prove it .....I only normally use FF so can't share any more than that....

A number of sites are now having problems with the continual upgrades of Firefox and Internet Explorer. I now have both up and running and just copy the URL into the other browser if I get a problem.
I have found that adding "informenter" as an add-on to firefox saves a lot of form filling time, although some might prefer Roboform, because it is more automated.
If the "downloading coupon" bar stays on screen for ages try hitting F5, and resending the data when it asks you. Sometimes this seems to kick-start it....sometimes unfortunately, it then says you have already printed your maximum.

Has anyone managed to print of CouponNet coupons using Linux instead of Windows?

I bought an Acer Aspire One netbook the other day (one of the £150 ones from Asda) but it runs Linpus Linux not Windows XP.

I did try and print off a Compeed £2 voucher but it said it couldn't do that with Firefox using Linux at the minute and offered to send me one in the post.

Does this happen on most of these coupons if you are using Linux?

I run Linux on one of my PC's and have it set up on dual boot, with an old Win XP disk.
Booting onto XP is the only way I can get coupons from that computer..I have tried loading FF through WINE and it still won't recognise it....It is probably blocked by couponnet as they cannot mess up your registry, and track what you have downloaded if you are on Linux.....sorry I couldn't help anymore...but it may save you wasting time trying a few more coupons;)

What is a luncheon voucher please?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luncheon_Voucher

Luncheon Voucher

The Luncheon Voucher (LV) is a paper ticket (voucher) used by some employees in the United Kingdom to pay for meals in private restaurants. It allows companies to subsidise mid-day meals (luncheons) for their employees without having to run their own canteens.
The scheme was created in 1954, when food rationing had just ended after the war. The UK government granted tax concessions to the scheme, believing that it would help citizens to afford healthy meals; they are free of income tax and national insurance contributions up to 15p a day: the 3 shillings in 1954 has not been adjusted for inflation. The LV scheme is now run by Accor Services. Restaurants that accept the vouchers display an "LV" logo in their windows.
The vouchers were famously used as a form of payment in Cynthia Payne's brothel in London during the 1970s.
