Connect other phones, tablets, or computers to a HUAWEI laser printer that has been connected to the Internet

Connect to the printer using the HUAWEI AI Life app (applicable only to phones/tablets)

1. Open the HUAWEI AI Life app on the administrator phone/tablet, touch and hold the printer card, touch Share, and select Share via QR code, Share via HUAWEI ID, or Share via WeChat, to share the printer with other devices. (The following uses sharing via HUAWEI ID as an example.)

   

2. Download and install the HUAWEI AI Life app on the non-administrator device, log in to a HUAWEI ID, and accept the sharing.

   

3. After the sharing connection is built, you can use the printer for printing, copying, and scanning from the Huawei Printer card in the app.

Connect to the printer using the Huawei Print client (applicable to Windows/macOS/Linux computers)

1. Visit the official website of the printer (HUAWEI PixLab X1: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/printers/pixlab-x1/), find Driver download or Drivers, and download the client installation program package named "HUAWEI Printer (Laser)_XXX" based on your computer system.
   

   If your computer cannot access the Internet, download the Huawei Print client to a USB flash drive and copy the client to the target computer.

   

2. Decompress the downloaded package to a folder on the computer, and double-click the Huawei Print client installation program.
   • For Windows computers: Decompress the installation package and double-click the .exe file, for example, PixLab_Series for Windows v1.122.exe, to open the Huawei Print client installation program.
   • For macOS computers: Unzip the installation package and double-click the file whose file type is Application, for example, HUAWEI PixLab Series, to open the Huawei Print client installation program.
   • For Linux computers: Decompress the installation package and double-click the .sh file, for example, install.sh, and choose Run in Terminal. In the Terminal window, enter the user name and password, to open the Huawei Print client installation program.
     

     The Ubuntu OS is used as an example for Linux computers. The actual interface of those running Red Hat OS may vary slightly.

3. On the Choose connection method and install Huawei Print screen, read and agree to the Huawei Print User Agreement, and select Over LAN.
   

   The actual interface may vary depending on the system.

   

4. After the printer is detected by the Huawei Printer client, click CONNECT and wait until the connection is complete. (Make sure that the computer and printer are in the same LAN. Otherwise, the printer may fail to be detected.)
    

   • The four digits following the printer name are the serial number of the printer, which you can find on the nameplate on the back of the printer.
   • The serial number is followed by the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the printer. Select either of them.

   

5. After the Added successfully message is displayed, click DONE. The Huawei Print client named PixLab Series_Huawei Print will be displayed on the desktop. Open the client. Then you can use the connected HUAWEI printer.
