    good grief, not getting the hang of your instructions kv, mine comes up with error, then it comes up with the free can but no bar code, getting frustrated. it keeps saying info missing, i'm losing the plot, free beans is not worth sll this.

    hi dap
    saw you'd changed you post, my post was only a suggstion though that still might not be the reason it disappeared

    will look at first pages info for the links you mention

    I didn't resize the coupon but change the size it prints at in the print settings, no alteration or editing of the file involved at all. :) I have seen plenty of other posts advising changing the print settings and not the actual file, being allowed previously? Also sonetimes with different printers having different drivers, they will print at different sizes to each other regardless. If you print at original size and portrait as is default half the coupon will be chopped off, including part of the barcode rendering it invalid. Some coupons (I.e Campbell's) say must be printed at actual size but as this one doesn't in the t&c I presume it's ok to change the printer settings so it prints clearly and legibly. Anyway edited my second post accordingly hopefully its not deleted again as it could help those who had difficulty saving the file xx

    ETA: in the coupon FAQ in the first pages it has links to two posts advising booklet printing (which may resize the coupon) and also resizing the coupon and changing orientation if it's a PDF to get it to print clearly and fit more on one sheet of paper. If its against the rules to promote changing printer settings in this regard then these two links should be removed from the FAQ as its really confusing as to what is allowed and what isn't

    I dread to think what our houses are gonna smell like with all these beans folks are buying! :rotfl:

    Been to Sainsburys on my way home from work, £20.95 shop and I paid 95p! ....and no I didn't buy all beans, just a few. :)
  • If you try and print the Heinz baked beans coupon again after printing it comes up as already printed
    BUT - when printing for the first time and your printer box comes up you can select as many copies as you like
    you can also print again from another Facebook account

    Maybe for once the fact our new PC with windows 7 broke, is a blessing in disguise because I now have an old PC with xp off dad in law and had no problems saving the coupon as one complete png image, even sent it to my email just in case anything goes wrong with this PC and when I opened the email on my phone it displayed perfectly then as well. I do have posters here to thank for this as I read there was problems with the coupon and was well prepared xx
