I'll comment on this later.

These are print queues (you call them printers) set up with HPLIP. Both
look valid so should be capable of being printed to. Please try

  lp -d DeskJet-3630-series /etc/nsswitch.conf

and

  lp -d DeskJet_3630new /etc/nsswitch.conf

Say how you go on and what the quality of the printouts are.

Your printer has USB *and* wireless conections being used. I find this
unusual but (AFAIK) it is not forbidden. 1. above shows you have not
uncommented any CreateIPPPrinterQueues line, so, by default, a queue for
a local IPP printer (which you do have and which is connected by USB)
will be auto-created using ippusbxd. You can check for auto-creation with

  systemctl stop cups-browsed

HP_DeskJet_3630_series_61C73D_ should disappear from 'lpstat -t'.

As before:

  lp -d HP_DeskJet_3630_series_61C73D_ /etc/nsswitch.conf

and comment.

I wonder why the time is missing. Copy and paste error?
