Understanding LPI Issues

Troubles Opening LPI Files

Unknown Software is Not Installed

When you double-click your LPI file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Unknown Software installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your LPI because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Obsolete Version of Unknown Software

In other instances, your Laser Printer Information file version may not be supported by your version of Unknown Software. You will need to download a newer version of Unknown Software if you don't have the right version. 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 LPI file and clicking "Properties".

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

Other Causes of LPI File Opening Problems

Errors opening Laser Printer Information files can still occur even with the latest Unknown Software software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening LPI files. Other contributing causes:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for LPI
• The LPI file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Invalid installation of a LPI-associated program (eg. Unknown Software)
• File corruption affecting your LPI file
• The LPI is infected with a virus
• LPI-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Laser Printer Information files
