IP's not scanning?

[mstrymom]

My question is what do you do when computer printed coupons won't scan while checking out? I'm not making copies--they are properly printed but just won't scan. I think it's my printer but don't want to have to purchase a new one. I was at two different Target stores when they wouldn't scan. The first store accepted them entering them by hand but the second store wouldn't accept it. I'm sure it's not just going to happen at Target stores. What do I need to do to be able to use them without any problems at any store?
Help! Please!

I had that issue with my last printer. Have you tried doing the alignment thing on it? You may try cleaning the ink heads also.

i have that problem at target too. i think it is target's scanners. same coupons will have no issue at kroger or schnucks.

i will say that sometimes it is the ink going low.
