Product: DeskJet 3630
Operating System: macOS 10.12 Sierra

Printer previously worked wirelessly but suddenly couldn't connect. After checking the online support/troubleshooting, I removed the printer & driver etc. but now when  I try to reinstall software/drivers the following error message is received 'Your device is not compatible with 5 GHz networks. Select another network, and then try again.' 

 

Any ideas?

That is correct.  Wireless printers are only supported on the 2.4Ghz bands.  Enable your 2.4Ghz band with a different SSID and connect up and go.

Thanks for the feedback however could you explain why it worked before? My router was upgraded months ago and it all worked perfectly until yesterday. Also, how can I enable with different SSID?

I have no idea what you did.   You have a dual band router.  Read your User Guide for your router to enable the 2.4Ghz band with a different SSID than the 5Ghz band.  Now connect your printer to the 2.4Ghz band following the instructions in the User Guide for the printer.
