How to print a one-time-coupon to PDF
We've all used coupons from Smartsource and Coupons.com and we also kind of do not like how it just sends off the coupon to the printer. We sometimes like to save the coupon to a PDF, so maybe we could edit the PDF file (to say, print 4 coupons per page), remove some obscenely colorful banners from them, or maybe we recycled our printer at Staples, and just want to print it from work.
How do we do it?
Here's what worked for me:
1. You need an actual printer (or at least its driver) and a PDF printer such as Acrobat, CutePDF or any other software that distills a PDF file.
2. Power off your printer.
3. Open the coupons link, and print.
4. The coupon will be sent to your printer.
5. Your printer driver will now queue up the print job, so it gets printed when you next turn on the printer.
6. Here's the hack - we now move the print job to a different printer - in this case your PDF printer.
7. MACs and Unix systems allow moving jobs between printers but Windows does not. So we try another hack. Open the print jobs queue (double click the little printer icon in the system tray).
8. Click on the Printer -> Properties Menu. Select Ports. Change it from the current port to the PDF printer port.
10. In the Advanced Tab in the same Properties box, change the "Driver" to the PDF driver corresponding to the PDF port. Hit OK.
11. Thats it! The PDF virtual printer should now take over the job and you have your PDF'ed coupon. Now do whatever editing you want.
