    I have tried repeatedly to print Smartsource coupons - I have a Mac! REALLY, can't this be fixed once and for ALL!
    This is very frustrating - I have downloaded Firefox - I have been online with Geek Squad - nothing seems to work!
    Do I have to go out and buy a PC to be able to print?

    Any one else with these issues & what have you done to make it work? Has anyone complained to Smartsource about this?

    I have the same problem. Several months ago it started working when I downloaded java for Oracle. It suddenly stopped one day.

    It refuses to work on my mac but it works on DH's mac. We've given up trying to figure out why. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but take it from experience -- your sanity is worth more than the few dollars you'd save
    Apply every possible promo code to your cart, at every store that you visit (and get points for cash back on top of that?). It's sweet and easy with HONEY.

    I don't have a Mac - but if you are using FF then this works for me (I use Chrome, but it should be similar enough)

    Open the Java website in a tab - verify Java version - leave this tab open once it verifies you are up to date
    Open a new tab for the smartsource coupon - try printing

    For some reason if I don't have that Java tab opened and verified, SmartSource says I don't have Java installed. Once it's open though, no issues. Although sometimes I do have to refresh the process.

    I went to print smartsource coupons the other day and literally screamed, "They still haven't fixed Java!?!"

    I don't know if that's what you're talking about but yes, it's damn frustrating. I wish they would finally make a version that would correctly overwrite previous versions without error.

    I won't have that devil, java, on my computer so I guess I have to miss out on any good coupons that might pop up. A while ago, I vowed to never look at Smart Source coupons ever again. What I don't know won't make me sad.

    Following these steps may help some with the java install as it is a very sensitive program I have found... even if you have a previous version and are just trying to update. When you go to the Java download site use the option to save the program to desktop instead of "run". Restart pc, do not open any internet explorer. Go to download, right click with mouse run as administer. Let it install. Once complete it will open java site to verify. Once verified, you now can go to smartsource.ca.... where at some point it will ask to run java... click "always run"(or something like that). It will now print your coupon. Hopefully this solves some of the trouble you are having. THis is how to get it on windows, not sure if following steps will help with mac but worth a try.

    Finally! I have a Mac too and was quite frustrated not being able to print any coupons. This is what worked for me http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US

    Finally figure out how to print using Firefox, damn Java. Have to go to Tools, the select Plugin and then activate Java. Now I am gonna try and figure out how to print using IE. If anyone knows how please let me know I don't mind taking the short cut.
