You can install the coupon printer program and run it under wine to see if it works or not.

Have you installed wine?

The coupon printer is just an ActiveX plugin for the Internet Explorer to identify your System
(installed as %windir%\CouponPrinter.ocx with the CLSID 9522B3FB-7A2B-4646-8AF6-36E7F593073C
from the URL: http://install.coupons.com/ )

The Internet Explorer replacement in Wine has no support for ActiveX controls yet.
CouponPrinter.ocx is marked as Adware, so there will be no special work to get this plugin working.
