The printerexport file extension is associated with Microsoft's Print Management tools, including the printer migration feature in Windows Server.
The file stores exported printer settings and related configuration used during migration. It is intended for administrators who need to move printers between Windows computers.
The format is tied to the Windows Print Management workflow rather than being a general-purpose document format.
Open a printerexport file through Print Management's Printer Migration feature in Microsoft Windows Server. Use the import option to restore the printers and settings contained in the file.
A printerexport file is not normally converted to another file format. To create a new migration file, export the printer configuration again from Print Management.
