Updated Printable Money off Coupons & Policies Thread 18 (and chat)

veggiecar

It is ALL to do with the info couponnet sends to the printer...they have safeguards in place to ensure that the coupon cannot be stored electronically and re-printed as often as the user wants!

In my experience on several machines:

Couponnet works fine...... if you are using Mozilla firefox and Windows XP

Couponnet works fine if you use Mozilla firefox and windows vista as long as you only have one printer, and no software printers/faxes installed.

Couponnet works fine...... if you are using Mozilla firefox and Windows98

Couponnet will not work on linux, with ANY browser.

So the problem is not at the couponnet end(apart from when they managed to block us all, after the Warburton glitch!)...it is with the ever changing browser compatabilities, and how we operate our systems.....
If the couponnet system does not recognise something, it will not allow the print to go through...and quite rightly so, IMHO.

If you have a browser that works....keep it for couponnet....load another one for other browsing if you like....or if the new one doesn't work.....go back to your old one.....use the windows refresh option, to go back to an earlier time. (programs/accessories/system tools/system restore).

I posted last night about Vista printer issues...if it applies to you....try it.

also from the couponnnet site

Is my printer supported?

Please note that ONLY paper based printers are supported. Flash, Adobe/PDF, Queue stackers, File printers etc are not supported due to fraud protection measures.

Please check your printer settings to make sure your default printer is a regular printer. The coupon must be printed to paper. Some printer drivers (this will be displayed in the error message) have an option to print to a file that cannot be circumvented. For security reasons, these printers are not supported. If you have a multifunction printer (fax, copy, print), please make sure the printer function is the default printer on your computer.

Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your printer!!! and that they are for the correct operating system...if you are unsure...download the latest drivers from your manufacturer's website, uninstall and re-install using the new drivers.

I have had a number of issues, on a number of computers, and all have been able to print fresh couponnet coupons.
It is all detailed on this thread or the previous ones, but the main things are as stated above......use firefox, use ccleaner to uninstall, clean out all rubbish and clean the registry (several times), re-boot,install couponprinter and start printing again.

If you get stuck, couponnet have most of the answers on their site......but they don't know what you have on your system....and they have to safeguard theirs!

Also from couponnet site for info:

Why couldn't I install the Coupon Printer?

If you are experiencing problems installing the Coupon Printer there may be a few reasons:

1. You may not have permission to download programs on your computer or you are using software that blocks the installation
If you are trying to print coupons at work or from a computer at a library, Internet cafe or university, you may not have permission to download and install programs onto the computer you are using. This may be true even if you've downloaded and installed other files. Contact your network administrator for more information. If you have a home computer, you may find it easier to access our coupons there.

You might also be running software that prevents installation on your computer. Please make sure to turn off any anti-virus software or any anti-spyware or adware software. While we have attempted to work with most of the major publishers of such software to ensure that our Coupon Printer is not blocked, there may be programs that block the installation, or put up a warning that you are about to install a program. You should choose to allow the installation.



2. The security settings in your browser are set too high
If you receive warnings or errors that an attempt to install and ActiveX control (Internet Explorer) or a plugin was blocked, or are asked for permission to install a program, you may need to change your browser's security settings to allow installation of these types of controls. Also, make sure to click the appropriate buttons in any dialog boxes that appear to allow the installation. Modern browers make you jump through a few hoops to install plugins, but it's worth it!


3. Your operating system or browser is incompatible
Coupon printing is currently supported on Windows 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP and Vista when used with Internet Explorer 5+, Netscape 7+, FireFox 1.0.7+ and most MSN and AOL browsers. Coupon printing is also supported on Macintosh when using Safari under OS X 10.3 and higher. Coupon printing is not supported by the Compuserve 2000 7.0 browser. While connected to Compuserve, use Internet Explorer or another browser to print your coupons. Coupon printing is not supported on Linux or WebTV.

I still haven't solved it yet. Maybe I'll uninstall and reinstall Coupon Printer

hi kev,
i had this problem once, exactley the same as you, i was on IE7 xp then, only thing that stopped it, was to uninstall my printer, and re-install. worked a treat.

At last, after weeks of installing, uninstalling, turning things off and on and cleaning them (not in the dishwasher), I have finally got Couponnet to work again on my computer. Well actually the OH did it. It was something called a Webguard on my antivirus product we think, even though Couponnet are posting a message saying that they are not yet compatible with IE8. Thanks to Veggiecar and Lovely Lisa for all the hints and tips.

Just a tip to save ink with pdf coupons - you only need print out the cut out bit with the actual voucher and barcode on.

Save it to your PC first as a pdf and then click on the little camera icon to activate and then highlight the bit you want. This will then copy just that section and you can paste into Excel (or Word, but I find Excel easier to manipulate) and then print about 3 or 4 per page.

If you can't see the camera icon, you can add it to your toolbar, by going into Tools\Customise toolbars and select it from there - bottom option on mine.

Hi everyone....:)

Hope all had a great day today....I too was busy in watching the wedding today. Had a flying visit earlier and saw many newbies popping over here.

First of all I would like to welcome all newbies:j ........All my friends have already explained about this thread. We are a virtual family who not only discuss the coupons, bargains but also share the joys and sorrows of each other as part of our daily chat.:A

Initially one may sound harsh, if we explain the "rules" of couponing but there is no intention of hurting anyone, behind this. It is just the strong urge, of NOT spoiling the system in anyway for short term gains.:o

Many of us have seen the posts on DTD thread about "reusing" the DTD voucher if it is not signed:eek::eek::eek: and that is "NO" "NO" for any coupons.

Also sometimes newbies might think (Nothing aimed at you midwinter) of photocopying it, so with that fear in mind, my friends might have repeated it, but I can reassure you that, there was no intention to harm anyone personally.

midwinter, if you still feel it that way, you could be the lurker for a while and see the friendliness of the thread and then join again if you wish to. Please don't mis-understand in anyway, rather you will feel more comfortable here than any other thread;)

Byatt, being a newbie has already explained you how she has become a friend on here, just by joining the daily chat.:A

So finally I would like to say "Be with us" and soon you will realise that even the "premium" brands could be free............;)

HTH

Night night all....:)

Good morning Perranlady, Cornishlady, madmuppet5, Midwinter, Idlesaver, Gill377, Jeferey, and Jonty03 and everyone else, your all early birds today.

Going to pop to Asda and yes, also Tesco today. Got to make the best of our coupons now.

I am going to use a .65p Tesco price guarantee coupon and a £1 fairy coupon in Tesco so the fairy will cost me .5p and I will get .70p back to spend again (or at least thats my theory) I am going to do this to make sure my tesco know its not all over.

Hope everyone has a lovely day, the sun is shining so hope we have a great weekend.

CWxx
