LPD Troubleshooting


Common LPD Opening Problems

Vim Isn't There

If you attempt to load your LPD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open LPD Files". Customarily, this means that Vim is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your LPD because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your LPD, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Vim Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Vim isn't able to open your LPD Daemon Print Permissions File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Vim version from the Bram Moolenaar website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your LPD file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the LPD file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Vim installed.


Additional LPD Opening Issues

Errors opening LPD Daemon Print Permissions File files can still occur even with the latest Vim software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading LPD files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • Invalid LPD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Corruption of the LPD file description inside the Registry
  • Invalid installation of a LPD-associated program (eg. Vim)
  • Something has caused file corruption of your LPD
  • Your LPD is infected with malware
  • Device drivers for LPD-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your LPD Daemon Print Permissions File file
