This is indeed the situation. Someone wants to secure his house, so he installs expensive Medico locks with those special keys that are difficult to pick and cannot be duplicated by ordinary locksmiths. Then he says, "oh, but I want to be able to open a door with my old Kwikset key." No. Secure means secure. Frankly, I am amazed that the printer is the only device that cannot connect.
Almost anything can be done with a Raspberry Pi. Or, get a WiFi extender that will connect to the Orbi with WPA3 and create a WiFi access point with WPA2.
