your pdf idea is flawed because of the simple fact that the code is unique

you print them to PDF, i have 10 unique ones in PDF format right now sitting on my HD
 
How so? Each time I hit refresh the code below the bar code is different. So far I've printed 6, each one has a different code.

There is no difference between printing to a PDF Distiller printer and a regular printer. If what you say is true then everyone else who has been printing reams of paper has just wasted their paper as well. 🙂
 
i thought you were saying that oh just save the file once then print it when ever you need to use it...but now i got ya
 
Yeah, I've been "printing" to PDF also. That way I can just print out on paper a coupon whenever I need it, rather than have to sit here and print out a million coupons. Plus, in PDF I can e-mail them to friends and people who need a coupon code.
 
I just printed some to PDF..then viewed it -- the fine print was not legible. Do I have an incorrect setting somewhere?

Edit: Ah..have to have it set on "print" and not "screen". 😱
 
I did my good deed for the day. A person in front of me was buying a couple HP inks so I gave her one of my coupons.

Forgot to thank the OP in my last post as I missed the FW thread.
I just came back with the Targus bag, fax modem, and 0.5mm mechanical pencil. After coupon I just paid tax.
 
It's not dead, but MS just found the price point to get you to use IE or IE tab, disable adblock, whitelist, etc.... and enable flash. 🙂
 
A more efficient method to print out multiple coupons:

Instead of hitting refresh on the page, waiting for the AD to cycle through, once you have a page with the ad shown, browse to another page in the same window. When you go click back, to go back to the MSN page, the ad will be there still with a new code so you can print again.

Once you print, click forward, then back again and voila, a new ad to print from!

This worked on IE 5.5. Should work for other browsers as well.
 
Seems like it will only print once. I couldn't get the ad to reappear after printing 1 but closing the browser , clicking on the link again and refreshing a few times worked. Each coupon has a unique number so reprinting or copying probably wouldn't work.
 
It seems like the deal is dead again.. I catch the Staples coupon on MSN once in a while, but no $10 off $40 link on mouseover.

Has anyone checked the page source for a page with a $10 off coupon link to see where the link actually points to?
