Installation
Once you have downloaded the WePrint
helper software, you can double click on the downloaded file to open
the installer.
Install the application “WePrint Server” to
your hard disk, or to a USB drive if you wish to use it while
traveling.
Running
Double click on the WePrint helper
application to launch it. It should then show the WePrint window.
If an error message is displayed, you may
need to configure the preferences (below).
You can start and stop the server with the
start/stop button. There is a preference to start the server
automatically when launched.
The “Pause Printing” button will pause the
server and still allow documents to be sent from the iPhone, but will
queue them for printing later.

Configuration
The WePrint software will usually configure itself, but you may
have to change some settings.
WePrint software uses a “Server port” to
configure a connection for the “ClipPrinter” iPhone application. A
server port is much like the room number in a hotel. All the port
numbers are in the same computer, but point to different applications.
By default, the print server use port 8080.
If this number is in use by some other application, you may need to
change it. Open the preferences and select the “Use custom server port
number” option. A field will appear which you can type a new port
number in - try using 8081 or 8082.

Documents transfer
WePrint
has a setting to share a selected directory on
your desktop/laptop with the “ClipPrinter" application. The default
folder is on your Desktop called "WePrint Files", any documents &
files you place in there will be available to import to your
iPhone/iPod. You can change the folder buy going to WePrint settings
-> Sharing -> Choose.
In the Documents screen, you can click the add
button  at the
bottom of the screen and then “Import” and select a WePrint
server (or iDIsk/WebDAV) in
the next screen. Select one or more of the
available files
and press the “Save” button to save the selected files to your Files
screen.

“Print” button.

Add a WePrint Server
T o add a print server, click on the blue button to the right of the
“Printer” label. This will start a search for the local WePrint
servers. Make sure your Print Server software is running and started.
When “ClipPrinter” finds a server, it will allow you to select which
printer to print to. If there is only one printer, that one will be
selected by default and you won't have to choose.
If “ClipPrinter” doesn't find a print server,
you can enter the server details yourself. The “Add Server” screen
allows you to enter the server address and server port values. These
are displayed in the window of your Print Server software. The name
field is optional. Press “Connect” to test the connection. If there is
an error connecting, see the troubleshooting section below.

How to setup "Print via Proxy"
Print via Proxy will allow you to print via an email or WebDAV server so
you don't need direct network access between your iPhone and your
WePrint computer.
The easiest way is to set up a Gmail account
in the WePrint settings. You can use another
email account but it is much easier to create a Gmail account and use the default settings.
On the iPhone, when you get the Print
screen, press the blue arrow
beside the printer name and then press the “Add Server” button. Press
the “Print via Proxy” tab and enter the same email account as WePrint.
Press “Save” to save the settings.
If you have an office network with a
firewall that blocks email server access, you could use iDisk or
another WebDAV server such as http://box.net
Tap on the "Type" field in the Print via Proxy tab on the iPhone, or
select the type drop down in the WePrint settings to select iDisk or
WebDAV. If you use box.net, the URL is http://box.net/dav
WePrint doesn't need to be running to print
via proxy, is generally not
restricted by firewall's, and can be started later to collect the
printed documents, so is great when traveling
