DeskJet 3632 printer with packing removed, top view.
Shows how to setup a WiFi connection on the HP DeskJet 3632 wireless printer. Note that doing this erases the current WiFi settings from the printer’s memory, and links it to the WiFi network you specify during printer setup.
Setting up to new WiFi networks you often must do 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 printer to a another office or home location. In short, do this most any time the network environment in which the printer resides, changes.
We assume that you have previously installed HP’s 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.
Factory reset the 3632 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 this printer setup before. 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 setting up the HP 3632 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 on that new device.
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 printer 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 setting up the printer.
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 HP hotspot network that the printer 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 setting up this printer on 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 3632 printer then tries to setup itself 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 printer successfully joins 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 printer 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 Wi-Fi settings screen and find your original wireless network and connect to it. Note that this may happen automatically once your printer 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 HP 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 printer, pointed at by the pink arrow, meaning that the printer is indeed connected to your chosen WiFi network, and is now online.
Your HP 3632 WiFi printer is now ready to print from the mobile device you used in this procedure to connect it.
