Perform this HP DeskJet 3632 setup routine to clear out the existing WiFi setting. You can also and connect this printer to a different Wifi network in this procedure.
You must change WiFi networks after replacing a router / access point that has a different network credentials. Furthermore, you may also have to do this when moving the printer to a different office or home location. So, here’s how to accomplish this.
We assume here that you have previously installed HP’s All-In-One app on your device you want to print from. So we won’t delve into setting up that app in this post.
HP DeskJet 3632 Setup: Step by Step Directions
1. First, Reset Printer’s Wireless Settings back to Factory Default Values
Hard reset the printer by following the directions in our How to Reset HP Printer, 3630 Series DeskJet article.
2. Find the HP All-In-One (AiO Remote) Printer Support App
We’re running an iOS-based tablet here
3. Run the AiO Remote App by Tapping It to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
It then comes up as shown next.
In our case, we had this printer configured previously. So it shows up at the top of the AiO Remote home screen. Now perhaps you are setting up the printer on a different device altogether. If so, then skip the next step. The app will immediately give you the opportunity to add a printer in this case.
4. Tap the Offline Printer
Then note the red dot by the printer name, above the ink cartridge status indicator. This dot means that your tablet is unable to connect to the printer through the current network. Tapping this entry gives you the opportunity to select a different printer.
5. Tap the Select a Different Printer Option
Find this highlighted in the previous picture. You then get the My Printer screen, as shown next.
6. Tap the Add Printer Link to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
Top right corner of screen. This brings up the Add Printer window, as pictured next.
7. Tap the Set up and Add a New Printer Option
Then this brings up the Agreements screen, as displayed next.
8. Read the Agreements Screen to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
Check the I have reviewed and accept the agreements and settings check box. Then move on to the next step.
If not however, then close the app, without setting up the printer.
9. Tap the Continue Button
This brings up the Connect to Printer screen, as shown next.
10. Bring Up your Mobile Device’s Wi-Fi Settings Screen
Find the Wi-Fi Settings as shown next. For our iPad, we pressed the home screen, ran the Settings app, and then tapped Wi-Fi settings.
11. Tap the HP-Setup>F5-DeskJet 3630 series Network to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
Then this action temporarily disconnects your tablet from your usual Wi-Fi network. It then connects the tablet to this temporary HP hotspot network that the printer broadcasts. A screen such as the following then displays.
12. Tap the Notification to Go Back to the AiO Remote App
Now the notification may disappear before you have a chance to tap it. Indeed you only get a few seconds to poke it before it goes away. So if that happens, then just close the Wi-Fi Settings window. Then locate the AiO Remote app on your Home screen as in step 2 above, and tap on that. Either way you choose, the app then displays the Connect Printer to Network screen.
13. Tap the Desired Wi-Fi network for Connecting the HP 3632 Printer
In our case, we’re connecting this printer to the 937T681J4059H_2G Wi-Fi network. Tapping the desired network brings up the password entry screen, as shown next.
14. Enter your Wireless Network Password to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
Type the password into the field arrowed in the previous picture, and then hit the Return or Go key. The 3632 then attempts to connect to the selected network.
15. Watch the Wireless Status Lamp
That light stops flashing and glows a steady white once the printer successfully connects to the wireless network.
On the tablet, the Reconnect your iPad to your network screen displays.
However, we notice that sometimes, the Connecting screen in step 14 above does not disappear. So at times, this screen persists even after the printer itself connects. When this occurs, we simply close the AiO app with the Home key. Then we reopen it.
16. Reconnect your Mobile Device to your Wi-Fi Network
Then go back to your tablet’s Wi-Fi settings screen and locate your original wireless network and connect to it. Note that this may happen automatically once your printer connects. However, if not, just do it manually.
17. Return to the AiO Remote App Home Screen to Continue with HP DeskJet 3632 Setup
Do this by closing the Wi-Fi Settings screen in the previous step. To do that, hit the Home key. Then once again bring 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 screen is showing. This should take you there.
18. Verify that Printer is Now Visible in the AiO Remote App
Then note the green status light beside the 3632 printer. This indicates that the printer is now online.
19. HP DeskJet 3632 Setup Now Complete !
At last, your HP 3632 wireless printer is now ready to print.
