so, what do I have to do to print more than one?

Before you hit the "print" button, go into your printer set-up, and reconfigure "number of copies" to more than 1.

Alternately, you can print it in greyscale, and you could photocopy the print-out.

Edit -- see Melanie's disclaimer below.

PLEASE don't do this! This is a big no-no, even if the coupon does not specifically state "do not copy". I'm a participant in the grocery coupon shopping board at MyCoupons, and this is one of our biggest gripes - people printing out more than they're allowed or worse yet, photocopying. It's a no-no. Now, you may be able to hit the back button, refresh and retry and get another copy (pretty much any coupon that comes through bricks.coupons.com will print twice if you do this) but it will not be an *exact* copy. It will have a different time stamp and possibly some other numbers will be different.

When people start multi-printing or copying, the company can trace the serial numbers back to who signed up, and you may get in trouble. AND the more that companies see this happening, the less willing they will be to put coupons out in the first place, so we all lose.

Sorry, stepping down from my soapbox now. Gotta run, I'm heading out of town.

I've never heard that before. Thank you Melanie.

Thank, Melanie. I don't like to cheat anyone, so I'll stick to my one.

YW, guys.

I hope I didn't sound to blunt, I was just checking the board briefly while I ate my cereal Saturday morning and wasn't intending on posting at all til I saw this.

One of these days, *somebody* is going to get caught doing this. All of the coupons that come through bricks.coupons.com or SmartSource.com and a couple other places have serial numbers attached to them. When people make these multiple copies, they can be traced back, probably really easily. And one of these days, one of the companies is going to decide they've had enough and go after somebody to make an example out of them - and I'd hate for it to be one of you guys!

There are a lot of people that do this, either for their own personal shopping, or to sell on Ebay or through the trading boards. So many people don't know any better and snatch 'em up, thinking they're getting a great deal.

Because of this problem, a lot of stores refuse to take internet coupons at all, or limit it to one like coupon (like one Pria bar, one free Twix, one BOGO Act II popcorn, etc. - all currently available) so that people can't cheat their store.

Now, as I said, you may be able to print two. Once it finishs printing, hit the Back button, hit refresh and/or retry if it tells you the page has expired, and it will go ahead and spit out another one. Usually. And I managed to get 5 on Sargento cheese once, that must be what they had set it to. You will get slightly different numbers if it lets you print more than one - you should at least get a different time stamp on it, and sometimes the coupons are numbered. (01, 02, 03, etc.) If you have those different numbers then you can prove that they are not identical copies.
