Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand you want to convert USB Printer to wireless on your HP Deskjet 3630,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
Have you attempted to install the printer driver?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
Step 1: Prepare for installation
Before installing the printer software and connecting to your wireless network, check the requirements, turn on the computer and the router, and set up the printer.
-
To use your printer on a wireless network, you need the following items:
-
A computer connected to your wireless network
-
Internet access: HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL for software downloads, using Web Services, and getting printer updates.
-
-
Make sure the router and computer are turned on, and that the computer is connected to the same wireless network to which you want to connect the printer.
-
Set up the printer, load paper into the input tray, and install the ink cartridges. For more information about setting up the printer, go to First Time Printer Setup.
-
Turn on the printer and place it close to the computer and within range of the router during the setup procedure.
Step 2: Install the printer software
On the computer you want to print from, start the software installation, and then download and install the HP full feature print driver. It contains the wireless print drivers, as well as HP Printer Assistant software for scanning and other printer management functions.
-
Disconnect any USB cables from the printer.
-
Use one of the following options to download the install software:
-
HP Deskjet 3630 series printers: 123.hp.com/DJ3630
-
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4729 printers: 123.hp.com/DJ4729
-
-
Double-click the driver file with HP Easy Start in the name in the browser downloads bar or in the Downloads folder to start the installation.
-
Select your printer from the list of available printers.

Thank You. I saved that info for future reference. I have been using the printer thru USB, but decided to switch to wireless because I wanted to relocate the printer. Talking with a friend of mine, he walked me thru the process. I am now printing wirelessly on desktop and laptop now. I appreciate the help. Art Johanson
