What is Enter Proxy Port mean?

I'm trying to reconnect my printer to my wifi and it's asking me to enter proxy port. Not sure what it's asking for. Please help.

@Ajohnston1, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you are trying to connect the printer to the network. You do not have to enter proxy address manually. Let us try these steps:

On the printer screen, go to Setup > Network Setup > Restore network settings

Go back to Network > Wireless > Wireless setup wizard and select your network.

• Make sure the printer and the Mac are connected to the same wireless network. Either 2.4 or 5GHz network.
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.
