CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Has anyone tried printing coupons from one of the coupon sites? (like coupons.com).
It tries to install a windows only printer application and I was wondering if anyone had got that working
with Crossover.

thanks,
Christopher.

I too would like to know if anyone got this to work. Its one of the biggest reasons my wife uses Windows.

I just went to coupons.com with opensuse 12.2 and used user agent to switch to safari 5 and it let me print

What is user agent and how do you have safari installed in opensuse. Isn't safari and Mac program? Please explain what you did.

Usually it is a browser extention which allows you to change what your browser reports to websites as to what it is and what it's running on.

For Firefox

For Chrome

Cool, I'll have to check that out. I thought you had to install special printer software. Thanks for the tip.

What did you do when it asked to install the mac printer program?

thanks.

I didn't have Safari as an option in my user agent so I tried Explorer. It let me see the coupons and download the printer program, but I could not in instal it.

As asked already, how did you install the printer program? Did you actually get the coupon to print or did you just get to the print screen?

Sorry for my last post user agent got me in to the site but did not print. I worked on this all day but no luck. I did find another site though it is smartsource.com similar site that works with native FireFox on linux it uses java and is a bit slow but I was successful in printing coupons.

Thanks for clarifying. Good to know about SmartSource. My wife uses that one too. At least thats one that works.

Greg- Please consider adding Linux to that list. Linux is becoming more and more common. And with major vendors writing game software for Linux, you can expect to see Linux market share grow in the near future. Thank you for your reply.

As of Coupons.com, they have switched to a Java client, however they don't support Linux, and may have useragent filtering.

Simply install a useragent spoofer in Linux.

As of other sites that use a ActiveX or nsplugin-type plugin you will likely want to use a browser under Crossover Wine. Your success will likely be mixed on this.
