Sources of PRINTEREXPORT Problems

Common PRINTEREXPORT Opening Problems

Microsoft Windows 7 Not Present

Double-clicking your PRINTEREXPORT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open PRINTEREXPORT File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Windows 7 installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your PRINTEREXPORT with Microsoft Windows 7, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Windows 7 installed, and you know of another program to open your PRINTEREXPORT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Microsoft Windows 7 Version

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows 7 won't support your Windows Printer Migration File file. Download the latest Microsoft Windows 7 version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your Windows Printer Migration File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows 7 than you have on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PRINTEREXPORT file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of PRINTEREXPORT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows 7 version installed.
