An orange light means no internet connection. The printer must be connected to the internet just like your computer is. (hardwire to modem/router/switch) This is not necessary to print, it is only necessary to change light from orange to green. If you connect the printer directly to your computer with a USB cable, then you can print offline. (still an orange light, but it will print)
