I would check the IP address of the printer that it gets from the Orbi thru the AE when it's connected to the AE. The AE if wirelessly bridged and connected to the Orbi should pass thru an IP address to the printer. Your PCs with the printer driver should point to this IP address that the printer gets from the Orbi router. You'll need to contact the Mfr of the printer for additional help and information on this.
