Are you having trouble printing coupons? Do you get a “please wait” message and then nothing happens? Or do you get asked to install the coupon printer over and over again? Follow the steps below to avoid having these problems again!
If you are printing a Bricks coupon (url starts with “http://bricks.coupons.com/….”) you can change a few letters in the url depending on the browser you are using to make the coupon print.
Here is a Bricks coupon example:
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qetefel30843030&bt=vi&o=56697&c=BA&p=RE9Wd6Dc
The vi in the url is the part you will change to make the coupon print for you. Based on the browser you are using, these are the letters you should put in that spot:
Internet Explorer: vi or wi
Firefox: vg or wg
Safari: xs
Just change those key letters and you should be ready to print!
Thanks so much to Rachel at Surviving the Stores for leading me to this solution!

None of this has worked for me!!!!! I have tried printing from IE and chrome. Either way it always goes through the motions and says that they have been printed. My printer is on and works just fine. Also every time I try to print it is sent to the print queue as I later see them there and have to clear them before using the printer for anything else.
Tony (if you get back here) - I found that the combination of Chrome (version 40.0.2214.93 m) and Coupon.com's couponprinterservice.exe (version 5.0.1.4) causes a problem in my print queue as well. I suspect that everyone here that tried to print a coupon where the coupon printing software says that the coupon has been successfully printed, but it actually hasn't, has also had the coupon print job stuck in their print queue. I found that if I send any other sort of print job to the printer (for example a blank page sent from WordPad) it forces the stuck coupon print job to print! This situation did not occur before with the previous version of couponprinterservice.exe. While this strange incompatibility is going on I found that switching to Internet Explorer while printing coupons solves the problem (although I'd much rather just stay with Chrome).
I have Windows 7
Ever since Catolina has taken over the Target website coupon page, I have been unable to print any coupons. It is so frustrating. I prefer Internet Explorer 8, but I also tried 9 and 10, and with each one, it tells me Explorer is not responding, and shuts down my page. I have uninstalled the Catolina software, and reinstalled it. My best friend can print the coupons, and my sister cannot. I even had a Target manager try, and he got the same Explorer closing as I did. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have missed so many amazing coupons. I am so darn frustrated.
My mom was having the issue with Java. It was installed and enabled on her browser, but she kept getting a message saying Java wasn't installed and her coupons would not print. I disabled her pop-up blocker (she uses Firefox go to tools -> options -> content -> uncheck the popup blocker box) and this allowed her coupons to print. When you are doing the above, make sure the boxes beside enable Java and enable Java script are checked.
So far she is able to print. I would suggest leaving the popup blocker on until you want to print coupons. It's a pain in the behind to turn off and on just for coupon printing, but popups can cause problems of their own.
I have tried to install the Coupon.com "coupon printer" several times and it does not work! I have 30 years experience in computers so I doubt the problem is on my end.
I find it hard to believe that advertisers would spend money to work with a company such as Coupon.com which gives it customer's such a frustrating experience. End result is that the coupons are offered but not actually given to the customer.
I have been searching for a soultion to print those coupons that I would love to scream at right now. I have tried the suggestions with the url and making sure my printer is default and that it is not shared. Still it will not work.. must be something on my computer from working, like blocking it.. I have chected though and even though I get the toolbars (which I hate) I still don't get any coupons out to print... How can I do this?
Blessings to all..
I am having so much trouble this computer isn't compatible with the couponprinter.exe file. This computer is hp which isn't one of the systems it can be installed on (I'm referring to our home computer) . I have a netbook as well for just me which is compatible and has the couponprinter.exe file installed on it but because it is a netbook it doesn't have a CD-Rom drive which means I can't install the printer to it. So I've been trying to see if there is anyway possible to get another conversion file or something I could add to the main computer to get the file to work.
What about the problem with printing from the Target website using IE9. I used to be able to print them on my IE9 for months and then all of the sudden 2 months ago I can't print anything. I keep getting the error
Unfortunately, you’re trying to print to a device that is not valid for printing coupons. If you have a multi-function printer (fax, copy, print), please make sure that “Printer” is set as the default function on your computer.
Your current default printer is: KODAK ESP C315 AiO XPS
If you have multiple printers connected to your computer, often as part of a network, you may want to check your default printer setting. To check or change your default printer on Windows, go to the Control Panel >Printers and Faxes. And for Mac, go to System Preferences >Print & Fax.
Try Again button after you’ve selected a new printer and make sure you have paper.
Funny that I don't have a problem printing from the major websites like bricks,smart source or coupons.com. Target says they do not support IE9 but I don't have a choice to use with windows 7. Not to mention I could just print them 2 months ago.
Help anyone...help?
Having the exact same problem with the exact same printer, tried every browser and I still cant get it to print target coupons, but can print every other coupon =(
