  lp -d DeskJet-3630-series /etc/nsswitch.conf
request id is DeskJet-3630-series-50 (1 file(s))

 lp -d DeskJet_3630new /etc/nsswitch.conf
request id is DeskJet_3630new-51 (1 file(s))

Print quality very good although off the margin on left

Then  systemctl stop cup
Failed to stop cup.service: Unit cup.service not loaded.
gary18 at gary18:~$   lp -d HP_DeskJet_3630_series_61C73D_ /etc/nsswitch.conf
request id is HP_DeskJet_3630_series_61C7

It printed again, same as above.

I have 3 printers listed under Devices

Note I use both the 18.04 and the Unity interfaces.  I may have used a
third interface.

I think I answered everything you asked.
