HP DeskJet printer 3632, with included cartridges and cords, showing top view.
Shows how to connect the DeskJet 3632 WiFi. Note that doing this will clear any WiFi settings on the printer and connect it to a new WiFi network.
Connecting to new WiFi networks becomes necessary after replacing a router / access point that has a different network name or password than the old network. You’d also do this when moving the 3632 to a different office or home location.
We assume here that you have previously installed the DeskJet All-In-One (AiO) app and configured it on a mobile wireless device you normally print from. So we won’t delve into setting up that app here in this post.
Hard reset by following the instructions in our How to Reset HP Printer, 3630 Series DeskJet article.
We’re running an iOS-based tablet here
It then comes up as shown next.
In our case, we had the 3632 connected previously. So it shows up at the top of the AiO Remote home screen, as pointed at in the last picture by the blue arrow. If you’re connecting the unit on a different mobile device that what you used before the WiFi network changed, then skip the next step, as the app will immediately give you the opportunity to add a printer.
Note the red dot by the printer name, above the ink cartridge status indicator, which means that your tablet is unable to connect to the DeskJet 3632 through the current WiFi network. Tapping this entry lets you select a different printer, as shown in the next picture.
Find this highlighted in the last picture. You then get the My Printer screen, as shown next.
Top right corner of screen. This brings up the Add Printer window, as pictured next.
This brings up the Agreements screen, as displayed next.
If you accept, then check the I have reviewed and accept the agreements and settings check box, and move on to the next step. If not though, then close the app, without connecting the 3632.
This brings up the Connect to Printer screen, as shown next.
Find the Wi-Fi Settings as shown next. On the iPad, we pressed the Home button, ran the Settings app, and then tapped Wi-Fi settings. See the results of those actions in the next picture.
This action temporarily disconnects your tablet from your usual WiFi network, and connects it to this temporary hotspot network that the 3632 establishes while in setup mode. A screen such as the following then displays.
If the notification disappears before you have a chance to tap it (you only have a few seconds to poke it before it goes away), then just close the Wi-Fi Settings window, find the AiO Remote app on your Home screen as in step 2 above, and tap on that. Either way you choose, the AiO app then displays the Connect Printer to Network screen.
In our case, we’re connecting this 3632 to the 937T681J4059H_2G WiFi network.
Tapping the desired network brings up the password entry screen, as shown next.
Type the password into the field arrowed in the last picture, and then hit the Return or Go key. The DeskJet 3632 then tries to connect to the chosen network, and the screen pictured next should appear briefly on your tablet.
That light stops flashing and glows a steady white once the 3632 successfully connects to the WiFi network, as shown in the next picture.
On the tablet, the Reconnect your iPad to your network screen displays, as shown next.
But, we’ve noticed that sometimes, the Connecting screen in step 14 above does not disappear, even after the DeskJet 3632 itself has connected. When this occurs, we simply minimize the AiO app with the Home key, and then reopen it. The screen just previous then appears.
Go back to your tablet’s WiFi settings screen and find your original wireless network and connect to it. Note that this may happen automatically once your 3632 connects. But if not, just do it manually.
Do this by closing the Wi-Fi Settings screen in the previous step (hit the Home key), and again bringing up the AiO Remote app, as you did in step 2 above. If the AiO home screen does not appear, then press the Home icon in whatever AiO Remote screen is showing. This should take you there. At any rate, the app Home screen you see next, however you get there, should look like the following.
Note the green status light beside the 3632, pointed at by the pink arrow, meaning that it is indeed connected to your chosen WiFi network, and is now online.
Your 3632 DeskJet WiFi printer is now ready to print from the mobile device you used in this procedure to connect it. Enjoy.
