If you would like to install the Huawei Print client on another hard drive, such as drive D, copy the installation package to the corresponding folder directory and unzip it to the folder. Do not make the installation path too long. If the path contains more than 256 characters, the installation may fail.

- Wait until the printer's driver has been downloaded. Then, the printer configuration on the wired LAN will be complete. To use the printer, open the document to be printed, press Ctrl+P, and select the added printer to start printing.
