@Stpats, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If your HP Officejet 4630 printer is showing as "Idle", it usually means the printer is not actively printing and may not be receiving print jobs. Here are a few steps to help resolve this:

Check Printer Status

• Make sure the printer is powered on and not in Sleep Mode.
• Tap the screen or press any button to wake it up.

Restart Devices

• Power off the printer and unplug it for 30 seconds.
• Restart your computer and router.
• Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Check Connection

• If using Wi-Fi, ensure the printer is connected to the correct network.
  • On the printer’s control panel, go to Settings > Wireless Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard.
• If using USB, ensure the cable is securely connected.

Set Printer as Default

• On your computer:
  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click your HP Officejet 4630 and select Set as default printer.

Clear Print Queue

• Right-click the printer icon > See what’s printing.
• Cancel all pending jobs.
• Try printing again.

Reinstall Printer Drivers

I hope this helps.
