DNP no longer sells the DNP WPS Pro, the DNP WCM Plus is the replacement product and is fully supported as it shows as an AirPrint device.
In LumaBooth, you can print to various printer types: AirPrint capable printers, classic printer using LumaBooth Assistant, and for DNP Dye Sub printers, you can use their print server called the DNP WCM Plus or the older DNP WPS Pro Wireless Print Server
There are two versions of DNP WPS Pro. Version 2 and Version 3.
Version 2 and 3
- To connect from LumaBooth running on the iPad to the WPS Pro, you'll need to be on the same network on both devices. To do this you have two options:
- Option 1: Connect iPad to DNP WPS Pro's wifi. Go to iOS Settings, Wi-Fi, connect to WPSxxxx. You will not have internet access with option.
- Option 2: Connect the WPS Pro device to your local network using a cat5 cable. Connect the iPad to your local network over Wifi. This option is good if you want the iPad/LumaBooth to have internet access for sharing in real-time. The drawback is that you'll need to connect the WPS Pro to your network using an ethernet cable and your network will need to have a connection to the internet. This is only possible if you connect to an existing wired network or you use a wireless hotspot device that has an ethernet port.
- Go to LumaBooth, Settings, Printing:
- Version 3 - Choose AirPrint, then Change printer, select the Printer Model. (Only available if you've updated the DNP WPS Pro with firmware v3 - Download firmware | See Instructions).
- Version 2 or 3 - Alternatively, Choose DNP WPS Pro. It'll search for the WPS Pro device on your network and connect to it if it finds it. You can also touch the Refresh button to force a search for your DNP WPS Pro device or manually enter the DNP WPS Pro's IP address.
- Once you see a green circle next to DNP WPS Pro, you can start printing.
- Touch Print Test Image to test your settings.
- Close settings, future prints will use the DNP WPS Pro device.
Note that the DNP WPS Pro cannot print multiple copies.
Version 3 and Additional Paper Sizes
To enable 2x6 paper sizes as well as other paper sizes, you will need to go to the DNP WPS Pro, printer settings, Printing and check both Enable Multi Cut and Enable 2 strip printing as below. Once you do, the WPS Pro will restart and when you restart LumaBooth, you'll see the new additional paper sizes in LumaBooth's Printer Settings.
