Problems setting up Print Remotely


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...

You should use the "WePrint Cloud" option as it is much easier to setup than the other options listed below. More...
  1. If you are having problems using "Print Remotely" with with the email/WebDav option, the first thing you should do is create a new email account purely for "Print Remotely". New accounts
    This is to avoid other apps deleting emails from this account. It doesn't mean that you can't print emails from other email accounts.

Do not set up your Print Remotely email account in the email accounts screen of PrintCentral Pro. It is only used for printing and so only needs to be added in the "Print Remotely" screen.
