How close is the printer to the router or satellite?

To see if the printer will connect at all to the Orbi at all wirelessly, set the wireless security mode to Disabled or Open on the Orbi router Temporarily. Then try to connect the printer to the Orbi. Will it connect then?

Re-enable WPA2 after testing the printer.
