Troubleshoot TASK Files


Frequent TASK Opening Issues

HP Printer Utility (for Mac) Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open TASK Files" when trying to open your TASK. When this happens, it is commonly due to HP Printer Utility (for Mac) missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your TASK with HP Printer Utility (for Mac), so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your TASK file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of HP Printer Utility (for Mac)

In other instances, your HP Printer Utility Task Plugin File file version may not be supported by your version of HP Printer Utility (for Mac). Download the latest HP Printer Utility (for Mac) version from the Hewlett-Packard website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your HP Printer Utility Task Plugin File file was created by a newer HP Printer Utility (for Mac) than what you have installed.


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


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


Other TASK File Opening Causes

Although you might already have HP Printer Utility (for Mac) or another TASK-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening HP Printer Utility Task Plugin File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading TASK files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry TASK file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the TASK file inside the Windows Registry
  • Defective install of a TASK program, such as HP Printer Utility (for Mac)
  • Your TASK can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • TASK file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers for TASK-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows cannot load your HP Printer Utility Task Plugin File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
