Proper ActiveRecord modeling

I have 3 different Models

Bid Order Printer

class Printer < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :bids
end

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  has_many :bids
end

class Bid < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :printer
end

I would like to be able to view all of a printers orders they have bidded on, but with my current structure I cannot do it. it would be something like @printer.bids.orders

How can accomplish this? Would I have to change Order to have belongs_to Printer, or has_many: bids through orders? Something along those lines?

You would have to declare printer like this:

class Printer < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :bids
  has_many :orders, through: :bids
end

This should work
