Ah, okay. Here's a solution that WILL work! Guaranteed!

1. Remove bricks.
2. Lay impermeable membrane (plastic sheeting, backerboard, etc.)
3. Replace bricks.

Maybe in the desert- but in my part of the world that will only work
for a year. Weed seeds are smaller than the gap between pavers- and
will sprout as soon as there is enough moisture there to set things in
motion.


Ah! Excellent point!

Amended suggestion:
1. Remove bricks
2. Lay impermeable membrane
3. Mortar bricks back into place.


That is a huge endeavor to solve a fairly simple problem. Landscape
cloth would have helped, as some contain a long-term weed preventer.
Hosing off the pavers might also help to keep soil and seeds from
establishing.
