To manually fix file associations on Windows 10

On Windows 10, the applying of Repair ‘printto’ verbs function unfortunately is not enough to fully resolve the problems with printing (printto function). The mechanism of assigning the file associations once again changed in this operating system. You need to manually assign the associations of file types with specific applications.

The file associations can be easily configured for the current user account.

To configure file associations for the current user account

1.     Right click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.

2.     In the Control Panel click Programs, then Default Programs, then select Associate a file type or protocol with a program.

3.     On the Set Associations page select file extension (e.g. .tif), then click Change Program.

4.     In the popup Open With window select the program to be used with selected file type (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), then click OK, see picture below.

5.     Click Close.

6.     Open Fax Voip FSP Control Panel. Click Fax in TreeView, then click Fax Converter. Click Repair ‘printto’ verbs. (See also Printto Options chapter).

Recommended file associations

In the table below you will find the settings that we recommend for standard file type associations. You can assign other default programs, but correct operation of printto function is not guaranteed in this case.

Notes

• The method of assigning file associations, decribed in this chapter, can be used not only on Windows 10 but also on other operating systems, such as Windows 8/8.1 or Windows Server 2016/2012/2012R2.
• The described method can be also applied to other file types, that are not mentioned in the Recommended file associations list.
