Need to disable AirPrint on my HP OfficeJet 4630 all-in-one

[tamelarae]

I need to disable AirPrint on my HP 4630 Printer. I reset printers, reinstalled it using USP connected to printer, but it is still showing up as an AirPrint printer. I've gone into EWS Settings, Network, AirPrint. AirPrint is On, but I am unable to turn it off.

Hi @tamelarae,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are trying to disable AirPrint on your HP OfficeJet 4630 printer involves a few steps, but it's doable. 

Here's how you can proceed:

Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS): Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

• Open a web browser on your computer.
• Enter the IP address of your printer in the address bar. You can find the IP address of your printer by printing a Network Configuration Page from the printer's control panel.

Login to the EWS: 

• When the EWS page loads, you may be prompted to enter a username and password. The default username is usually "admin," and the default password is "admin" or blank. If you have changed these credentials, use the ones you set up.

Navigate to the AirPrint settings:

• Once logged in, navigate to the "Network" or "Networking" tab.
• Look for an option related to AirPrint. This might be under a sub-menu like "Advanced Settings" or "Protocol Settings."

Disable AirPrint: Set up the HP printer with AirPrint in macOS

• Find the AirPrint setting and toggle it to "Off" or "Disabled."
• Save your changes if prompted.

Restart the Printer:

• After disabling AirPrint, it's a good idea to restart your printer. You can do this by turning it off and then on again from the power button or by unplugging it and plugging it back in after a few seconds.

Check if AirPrint is disabled:

• Once the printer has restarted, verify if AirPrint has been successfully disabled. You can check this by attempting to print from an AirPrint-enabled device, such as an iPhone or iPad, and see if the printer appears in the list of available printers.

If AirPrint is still enabled after following these steps, you may need to try resetting the printer to its factory defaults and then repeating the process. You can find instructions for resetting your printer in its user manual

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
