I shouldn't have to turn off "security protection" to print coupons.

I've disliked coupons.com for quite some time. While I was visiting family I thought I'd make use of another computer and print out some coupons. Of course, I have to disable firewall, spyware detector and other internet security options JUST to print from coupons.com - ARGH!

I agree. I can't print even when I do all that now. I really think something is wrong with the coupon companies.
When I go to an old computer that printed those coupons the last time it was booted up, now I get nothing. They don't print, just locks up my computer like it's the blockers fault. ~!very fishy to me!~


Big shout out to everyone that participates in the printable raok thread - you guys rock~!~

all the more reason to see about alternative operating systems.

I have a Mac and use Firefox and can never print with that. I have to switch over to Safari, and then even with that I have a 50/50 chance of anything printing. Usually the site sends 2 different messages to my printer which just jams it up and I end up having to go in and manually deleting all the coupon printing jobs. Unless I run across some incredibly awesome coupons, I don't even bother anymore.

Firefox is what I run now with vista and I open tabs in ie to TRY and print. I didn't have any problem with windows xp using firefox and a tab in ie.

My old system won't print now - and I could print everything between firefox and the IE tab.

I say it's them. When my old computer won't do it anymore, it's them.

What sucks is that we can't put IE on the Mac, but we have it on the other PC in the bedroom, but that one isn't hooked up to the printer. One day we are supposed to link the 2 computers to the one printer, but who knows how long that will be!

I would never take down my firewall/anti-virus just to print coupons. That being said between a version of FF that has a valid coupon printer and IE I can usually print anything from Smartsource of Coupons.com I need to. With FF3 coming out I'm having a few issues until software add-ons get updated but not too many. I really do think its the printing software, but after having issues with coupons.com one day where it printed one then wouldn't print the second I spent 4 hours with the online support. Nothing worked to fix my computer and obviously it should have worked since it did the first time. At least yuo can trade her for IPs.
