Printing coupons

[Ruthie5671]

I have a computer at home, but no printer. I have a computer and printer at work, but cannot download the software to print coupons on my work computer. Is it possible to e-mail printable coupons to myself at work and be able to print them? I haven't tried yet - I'm not very tech savvy, so I didn't want to mess it up if it wasn't possible.

Printable coupons cannot be emailed. The software that gets installed on your computer is created to prevent you from printing unlimited copies and it could not be controlled if the coupons were to be emailed. Even the links that I get for coupons in my email lead to a page that employs the coupon printing software. If you notice, each printed coupon bears a unique code, even if you've printed it more than once from a coupon website.

Printers have gotten relatively cheap over the past couple of years. You might want to check a few of them out the next time you're in the electronics department.

You should probably not, your employer would frown on you using work supplies for personal reasons. It might only be a few pennies to print them out but you would be drawing attention to youself. Unless of course you are the company owner...

There are some printer-emulators that save the output as PDF. You might be able to install one of those on your home computer. But the coupon printing software is pretty smart; I know they block the official Adobe one.

You can buy a printer for about $99. It might be a good investment for your home.

Target has an HP printer on clearance for under $50.

those coupons and websites are loaded with cookies and tracking to prevent over printing, and to gather your data. i would not risk trying to print it at work because if anything damaged the computer i would have some explaining to do. i got a printer at target for under $100 about 3 years ago. with printing only coupons and a document on occasion i am only on my third ink cartridge and second ream of 500 ct paper. it is worth the investment.

also, i know a few people who rely on a work printer. if they can't get to the office (like on a weekend) and they need to print they are in a serious bind. to me its worth it for piece of mind.
