I recently got a question from a reader that I need your help to answer. She is having trouble printing Brick’s coupons. About half of the time I cannot print a Brick’s when using Firefox. When that happens I switch over to Internet Explorer just to print the coupon! I do not have any experience with Safari.
Do any of you use Safari? Can you print Brick’s coupons with it?
Are there any other thoughts as to why her coupons will not print?
Thanks everybody!

sometimes I can print them and other times I cn’t. we have had to reload the coupon printer a few times because it works for a while and then stops. I a not sure why it is this way, and if anyone has ny help that would be great.
I can’t print bricks on safari most of the time
Hmm, sounds just like firefox 🙁 Thanks for letting me know!
I very seldom have problems with Safari, and I have never had to reload the coupon printer. Sometimes it takes a little while for them to print, though.
I found this a while back (forgot the original source, sorry!) because I was having problems printing on my Mac. Anyhow, it works every time!
Problems printing Bricks coupons? This may fix your problem!
So, everyone uses different browsers, from IE to FireFox to Safari.
Sometimes people paste Coupons.com/Bricks links that they received in FireFox, which do not work in Internet Explorer or vice versa. You get the “Please wait…†or “Please Install The Coupon Printer†even if you already did.
This trick will allow you to simply change 2 characters in the URL to make a FireFox link work in Internet Explorer and vice versa
Here’s how easy it is, the following is a FireFox link:
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY
note the “wg†in the URL. This link gives the repeating Please Install The Coupon Printer in Internet Explorer.
To make that link an Internet Explorer link we simply change “wg†to “wi†OR “vi†(in this case, both variations work, other coupons it may be wi or vi, trial and error):
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY
or
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=vi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY
UPDATE: If you want to print Bricks coupons on a MAC with Safari, replace the “wgâ€, “wiâ€, or “vi†to “xsâ€. You can also do the reverse, take a Safari link “xs†to IE “wi†or “vi†or to FireFox “wgâ€.
You do the opposite if you want to print an Internet Explorer link in FireFox!
Wow I am going to try this- Thank you!!
YAY!! It worked:)
Leah that is great! I’ll probably post this (and give you credit) so everybody knows 🙂
