HP DeskJet 3631 All-in-One Printer

I have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks that have different name/SSID, and the printer will not   connect to the new network,  only the old one, which will not connect to it. I need to change it to the new system. Factory reset, did not work. Its not the router, or the internet service.  I have tried ALL the troubleshooting without luck. NONE of the suggestions have worked.  Any thoughts?

Hi @MSBS1,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a connectivity issue with your HP DeskJet 3631 All-In-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist you better:

  • Which iOS device are you using?
  • Is the blue Wi-Fi light blinking on the printer?
  • What is the current version of iOS installed on your device?
  • How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
  • Do you have a dual-band router?
  • If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.
     

While you respond to that,  please follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

 

Restore Network to defaults:

  • Most inkjet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless 

and Cancel 

buttons until the Power button flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.

  • Once you restore the network to defaults, then please follow the instructions on this link to connect the printer back to your PC.

Once you connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network the blue light will become solid, please try printing using Airprint.

 

Print with AirPrint

  • Open the app that you want to print from.
  • To find the print option, tap the app’s share icon — 

reply icon

or

share icon

— or tap 

share icon

  • Scroll down and tap 

pinter icon

or Print. If you can’t find the print option, check the app’s User Guide or Help section. Not all apps support AirPrint.

  • Tap Select Printer and choose an AirPrint-enabled printer
  • Choose the number of copies or other options, like which pages you want to print.
  • Tap Print in the upper-right corner.

Please go ahead and Update printer firmware and Update software on iOS.
