I am trying to hook up a wireless printer. The message keeps saying that there is no wireless internet to hook to. But I know that is not the case as I am sending these questions out to netgear.

Issues with wifi printers are often nothing to do with the wifi source, your Orbi, which just sits there delivering wifi. It is up to your printer to play ball.
Setup is down to the way in which you configure the printer. Most wifi printers use an program on your PC to set them up. It is probably somewhere on your PC. You just need to find it and run the thing.
I suspect that running the printer utility will deal with the prompt you see.
That is how I fixed a neighbour's HP printer recently.
