I'm looking for a virtual printing software that will print to file and show up as an actual printer for sites like coolsavings. Our printer died and we just need to print to file then print the coupons and such out at my husbands work.

When shopping for: Software, printer, virtual printer | Posted 07/12/2010 | 265 Views
Details:
1. But what I need it for is to print coupons to file using coupons.com or other styled site software. I need a virtual printing software that will appear as a regular printer so that when I click on print coupons it will go ahead and print to the virtual printer and thus to file without getting the error message saying the printer is not compatible. You gave me basics but nothing that actually answered my question. Can someone help?

Hi! Thanks for your question!

I love clipping and printing coupons. While I do have a printer that works I know that if I can't print something immediately I can use NitroPDF Reader. When I go to File(s) then to Print in the options where you can choose your printer it shows up there. Once I choose it it brings the coupon up in pdf format to save to my computer. This is especially helpful for those coupons you may get which say "Available to click once only." Also I like NitroPDF because it has tabbed PDF browsing which is so much better than Adobe which also tended to crash a lot. I use multiple browsers depending on what I need and access many PDFs I can't stand when a product is messy in one thing and fine in another. 

I also have PrimoPDF and PDF Fill PDF & Image Writer which also show up in my printer feed. I use the former rarely (I actually forgot I had it till just now) and the other I use when I need to scan multiple papers then put them into one PDF document since my printer likes to make them pictures but not in one file. =( 

NitroPDF is your best bet though. I know it works. I have the free option on my computer but you can purchase it and have more of the good stuff. I like their interface it looks pretty sweet. 

So be sure to choose the NitroPDF option to print when the Coupon has the print option available then once it goes to the program save it to your computer. 

I hope this helps!
