Wired Computer to wireless printer

[therover8511]

My PC is connected to my network via wired connection.  My printer is connected to the same network wirelessly.  Is it possible for my PC to print to the Wireless printer without a wired connection to the printer.  HP Inkjet 3630.  Thank you!

Hello Therover,

I gladly will supply the steps for you to wirelessly connect the printer to wi-fi.  It will be quite easy.  Please provide some info if you remember the steps you took to set up the printer.  After digesting same, we can proceed.

What country are you in?  Is your computer/laptop wireless capable?  When did you first install the HP 8630 printer's software on your computer, laptop, etc.?  Have you upgraded the computer's Operating System to Windows 10 from Win 7 or Win 8.1, and if so, when?  The Windows 10 compatible version of the printer's software is dated February, 2017.    I assume you used the printer cable when setting up the printer.  Does it have a blue light showing wireless connection (I don't use that model)?    If so, is it a steady blue? (Please look at my next post)

Do you now have use of the printer's full capabilities:   copy, print and scan?  If so, why do you want to change?  The wireless offers very little more, such as there will be no cable (DUH), so you can move the units farther apart.  Another is you can send and receive emails to and from the printer, such as sending a scan.

So let me know and we can proceed.

I am not an HP employee, but attempt to provide answers on this Forum in my spare time.

Hello again Therover,

Here is some info for you. (Please read and reply to my earlier post)  The link below is the HP 3630 User Guide.  I provide some illustrations of Pages 5-9 relative to the Wireless (Wi-Fi) connection.  The number 3 symbol is the Wireless Symbol and adjacent on the right is a small dot, which is the blue light.  What does the blue light show.  Each of the 4 illustrations can be copied and pasted into a MS Word file and printed.
