Make sure you have "Remote" showing in the Server field of the Print screen on the iPhone. If not, use the "Choose" button beside the Printer field to select or add a WePrint server. Choose a green WePrint server with "Remote" under the name. The WePrint printers with blue lines above are local WiFi printers.

The easiest setup option is to choose "WePrint Cloud" in the WePrint settings screen. If you have problems, delete the WePrint Cloud account and then share a new account with your iPhone/iPad. More...
