I work at a school and I would like to connect my printer to the internet. I understand that I cannot connect to my school's wi-fi as it is encrypted, but I am hoping my printer can connect to the internet with an ethernet cable, but I do not think either port on my printer is that. Please help me get connected to the internet!

Welcome to the HP User Community.
Your printer does not support connecting with an Ethernet cable.
Printer Specifications for HP Officejet 4630, DeskJet 4640 Printers
Connectivity
Model | Wireless | Ethernet (wired) | Wireless direct | USB |
HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer Series | yes | no | yes | yes |
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4640 e-All-in-One Printer Series | yes | no | yes | yes |
An Ethernet cable could be used to connect your printer to a router -- you (still) need control of the router and control of the network to reach the outside.
If your school IT department that controls your Wireless also denies connection to the "outside" world, you must live with that limitation or convince the people that control the School Wireless access to allow you to connect to the Internet. You might be able to get help from your school administrators, too.
Printer connection options are explained in the user manual:
