Coupon

I have just printed a coupon from safecoupons , if I try to print any more it say's that I already printed the coupon.
Not being computer minded how does it know that I have printed the coupon and what data does store

could be a cookie, a flash cookie, they might take note of your IP at their end, the applet that prints them could tell them your mac address, the serial number of your hard drive, tons of stuff. Pretty easy to narrow it down though.

If you want to print more copies, then download Promo Pdf maker, this puts a pseudo printer in your system, when you next print choose the primoPdf printer, it will then make a pdf file and save it to your docs. You can then print this as many times as you like on the normal printer.

Print screen does NOT do what it says !

It puts it into the clipboard, to get it into something you can use, you have to paste it into another program, eg paint, or word, then you can save the file.

OK just for the pedantic members, you use print screen then paste that from the clipboard into paint for example, then you ensure you size it correctly, you then go to the options and print ensuring you select colour and the corrct paper size, also make sure you have a printer witched on with paper and ink in it and it is connected to your computer either by cable or wifi or bluetooth.
Happy now or do you also need pretty pictures to assist.

While I'm not sure why aerostar felt the need to point this out, the chances are that printscreen won't help in this case. If a company's going to go to the trouble of using technical methods of stopping you printing more than one coupon, why would they display the preview on screen in a useable state?
