Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.

Firstly I would make some space on C drive before that machine stops working then try installing the printer.

Make at least 5-10 gig of space.

its that the person who installed it only made the c drive 4.87 gig, and with windows and a few other apps runnin on there its hard to make the adjustment, most we get is 400mb but its still not enough for the setup to extract its files for it to install on D drive, which has loads of space.
