What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Where was the printer in relation to distance from the router and satellite. If the printer if broadcasing its own wifi, this would cause interference with the Orbi Wifi. What channels is the printer using? Channels would need to be far and separate from the Orbis Wifi.
You should contact HP about this and see if they have any information regarding there printer working with the Orbi.
What channels are you using on the Orbi? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Disabling the wifi on the printer is only to see if it helps with the Orbi Wifi.

I bought the HP printer so I could use AirPrint. My point is that it doesn’t work with Orbi Satellite. Disabling Airprint isn’t an option.

I have no problem with the Orbi satellite other than it prevents AirPrint from working. Apart from that it works fine.
I was just posting here to help anyone else faced with the same issue.
Thanks,
Andrew
