Have you tried connecting it via wireless to the Orbi?
- Yes but I was having issues (can't remember details, it was a while ago) so I went with a wired connection to try to simplify troubleshooting.
Be sure your PCs printer driver is correctly configured to print to the IP address the printer gets from the Orbi system. Check to see if the printer has a IP address from the router.
Connect the printer directly to the Orbi router and test printing.
