In the last fiew weeks, my Deskjet 3630 has stopped printing wirelessly. I've reinstalled drivers, and followed instructions to connect to wifi direct (my laptop shows the wifi direct printer name in available networks, but if I connect to it I still can't print - and of course I can't connect to the internet unless I change the connection back to my router.) The only way I can print is via USB cable.
I've run Scan Doctor. Also printed the Network Configuration page, and it says network status is ready, connection type wireless. Also says connected for internet and Wifi Direct is on. All the diagnostics say PASS . But I still cannot print wirelessly. Appreciate any help you can provide.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Are you using the HP Smart App on your PC? If not, you may try and install to see if that works: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04675142. If yes, uninstall and reinstall it.
If the issue still persists, let's do a root uninstall and reinstall of the software:
Unplug any USB cable, if any, before doing this.
1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
2.) Select your HP Printer
3.) Select Uninstall
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'
6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
10.) Select Ok
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
12.) Close Devices and Printers
13.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
14.) Type c:/programdata and click Ok. Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
15.) Restart the computer.
Once done, please download and install the software from here:
