Activerecord proper associations

I have four models

Bid Order User Printer

currently I cannot access the order through anything except User.

I would like to be able to do something of the sort bid.order but have yet to figure out the correct association. Any thoughts?

class Bid < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :printer
end

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

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

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :orders
end

Both models must know about the relationship so you need to state that in the Bid model

class Bid < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :printer
  belongs_to :order
end
