<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We take the same position as Chad
stated: if you physically can do it, you're generally allowed to,
and I have occasionally gone back and installed software on all of
our computers if there was a demand for it and it was free and it
was generally harmless. <br>
<br>
In this case, I've actually used coupons.com's printer outside of
work, and from my experience I would discourage you from
installing it. <br>
<br>
it's primary purpose is to limit each computer to two printings of
any given coupon. So you'd get a situation where the patrons
wanting to use it would find that the coupons they want would be
randomly unavailable on a computer by computer basis at any given
time. <br>
That said, I've never tried to use it on a computer with something
like deepfreeze or another application that restores a computer
after logout/reboot/etc. I know it's partially depended upon
cookies or some other form of locally stored information and, from
some of the reading I've done, it seems that the printer also
"calls home" to help avoid people trying to get around the code.
One writer described it as working rather like a virus in that
manner, if I recall correctly. <br>
<br>
Also, from what I saw the code once in a while will tell the user
that it printed their coupon, and neglect to share that
information with the printer. <br>
<br>
So I would say no it. Though, I am genuinely curious as to
whether it would work at all on a locked down machine, and if it
did if it would successfully remember how many of a given coupon
that machine had already printed.. <br>
<br>
Best of luck. <br>

General rule of thumb is that if the patrons <u>can</u> do
something, I don't really care (as long as it's not illegal or
damaging to the library in any way). Whatever they do gets wiped
upon reboot. So if they can find a way to install the coupon
program with the privileges available to them and without
rebooting...go for it!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Recently we have been getting more
customers asking/ wanting to be able to print coupons
from <a moz-do-not-send="true"

it’s an issue as this site require an installation and
admin privilege for a coupon printer before you can
print them out.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you allow your customers to
print from this site or not? And if you do allow how
do you handle the installer?</p>
