Understanding LJ Issues

Common Problems Opening LJ Files

HP LaserJet Driver Not Present

You attempt to load your LJ file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LJ File Extension". Customarily, this means that HP LaserJet Driver is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you don't have HP LaserJet Driver installed, and you know of another program to open your LJ file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Outdated HP LaserJet Driver

Your HP LaserJet Graphic file is incompatible with HP LaserJet Driver because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Hewlett-Packard website to download (or purchase) the latest version of HP LaserJet Driver. This issue mainly occurs when your HP LaserJet Graphic file was created by a newer version of HP LaserJet Driver than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of LJ file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening LJ files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
