One-Touch Printing with Huawei Share
When a printer that supports Huawei Share is nearby, you can use Huawei Share to find the printer and print out pictures or PDF files stored on your device.
1 Depending on the type of printer, ensure the following:
Wi-Fi capable printers: The printer must be powered on and connected to the same network as your device.
Wi-Fi Direct capable printers: The printer must be powered on and have Wi-Fi Direct enabled.
Bluetooth capable printers: The printer must be powered on and discoverable via Bluetooth.
2 On your device, preview the file to be printed, then go to Share > Huawei Share.
3 Once the printer has been discovered, touch its name on your device, and adjust the settings on the preview screen. Then, touch PRINT to print. If you are connecting a Bluetooth printer to your device for the first time, find the printer on your device, touch the printer name, then press and hold the Power button on the printer for about 1 second to confirm the connection.
For a list of supported printers, touch Learn more on the Huawei Share sharing screen, select Printers, then touch What printers are supported?.
