Python Plotly static image export (Orca) getting html error 404

I am running the Plotly offline static image export example as in https://plot.ly/python/static-image-export/. Unfortunately I get the following error running the below line I cant decipher. Every other step is successful, including plot render. Is it reaching out to an external address?

pio.write_image(fig, format='png',file='images/fig1.png')

Error:

ValueError: 
The image request was rejected by the orca conversion utility
with the following error:
 404: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML
