Printing Coupons Question

So I have run into a bit of a problem and am just wondering if anyone might have a solution. My printer stopped working and I feel that buying a new one just to print coupons would kind of defeat the purpose of using coupons (ie spending $50 on a printer and ink to save $1 here and there). I know that with time it would pay for itself but here is what I am wondering....

My laptop has all of the coupon printer software loaded and can always print them if hooked up to a printer, but now I don't have one. I can go to the library or use my work computer which has a printer but I can't load the software to print the coupons.

Unfortunatly I can't hook my laptop up to my work printer or the library printer so I have a laptop with coupons but no printer or a printer connected to a computer that doesn't have the capability to print coupons.

Does anyone know how I can use my laptop to "print" bricks or other online coupons to a file that I can then print elsewhere?
I know that certain things you can "print to pdf" save the file and print at a later date, does that work with coupons?

Thanks!!

yes, there is, but it takes a little work

I'm in a similar situation with needing to get coupons on one computer but print at another. Unfortunately, you cannot print directly from the coupon websites to a pdf writer or similar virtual printer. However, I found that there is a way to get around this restriction, but it's not the easiest and makes things a little more tedious (coupon companies did this on purpose). It's a bit of a long explanation, so I'll send you a PM with the details.
