HPLIP

I have installed 3.14.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 but my Wireless printer is not appearing on the Device Manager Setup.

Asked by Nana

I have installed HPLIP 3.14.6 via terminal and got the device manager via GUI mode. I have an Officejet 4630 model that uses wireless that we had when we still had Windows. When I choose wireless, no matter how many times I refresh, nothing comes up. I've checked; both the printer and the computer are on the same network. What is wrong?
