In Photoshop, paths don’t export or print alone; they need to be on at least one shape (vector) layer. Are these just paths, or are they shape layers too? The screen shots don’t show the Layers panel. If these paths are not on at least one shape layer, they won’t print or export.

 

In Photoshop, paths are just wireframes. Shape layers can take strokes, fills, and effects, which is what makes it possible for shape layers to be visible when exporting and printing.

Did you actually try opening the files in Illustrator?

 

You could also use File>Export>Paths to Illustrator.

Simply copy & paste the paths to AI. No need to make it any more complicated.
