IPs- when to print?

I have a question about the internet printables. How do you know when to print them? There have been many times when a good deal has come out, and I've gone back to get the IP, and it is no longer there. I don't want to print out every single IP I come across (the amount spent on paper & ink would probably outweigh my savings), so what are some good "criteria" for whether or not I should print out a coupon? Right now, I pretty much only print out ones for things I know I will need.

I print out only what i know we can use. Or i can trade w/, nicely. I have too learned that if i wait usually the coupon get's pulled, etc. So i guess my response really doesn;t help. Sorry.

i print what i think may be used soon (kind of a guessing game). but you can also set your printer to only print "draft" using less ink (and faster) rather than "normal". can be done in your printer setup menu.

I print as I find them, if I think I will use them.

I've tried that, but the coupon is difficult to read and the letters are sometimes not even filled completely. When the clerk can't scan it because of low ink, that too makes a problem. I wonder if there truly is a solution to this problem.

im printing as i find them, i have 2 printers.. 1 for coupons and the other for everything else. this works out just fine since i have oooddless of ink for the coupon printer.. and can get more from ebay realllly cheap. Paper wise.. im using the rebates from staples to cover that expense..
>hope this helps at all.
:)


p.s. i dont think im allowed to post urls.. so if anyone wants to know where i get my ink from just pm me.

I print only the ones i think i am gonna use or someone else would ue that i know! :)

My answer is similar to the other posters.

When new coupons come out, I only print the ones that I'm at least 90% sure I will use.

When a sale comes up for one I didn't print, I go back and hope it's still there. If it's not, it's disappointing, but you just can't print them all while they're there. It wastes too much paper and ink.
