Trouble Printing Coupons?

Don't let two characters in the browser URL discourage you from printing coupons!

The problem is that most coupons have a link that is meant to be printed in a certain browser (i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari).

When you try to print a coupon in a different browser than intended, you will get one of these messages, i.e. Please wait... Page Loading, etc.

The simple fix is to just change two characters. The following is a Firefox or Chrome link. Note the “wg” in the URL. This is telling you it is a Firefox link.

To make the link a printable Internet Explorer link, you will simply change the “wg” to “wi” or “vi”

If the link had a “wi” or “vi” it would be an Internet Explorer link. To make it print in Firefox, just change the “wi” or “vi” to “wg”.

You can also use this simple fix to print coupons in Safari. Just replace the “wg”, “wi”, or “vi” to “xs”.

And to get a Safari link to print in a different browser, change the “xs” to“wi” or “vi” for Internet Explorer or to “wg” for Firefox.
