I am guessing that your wife's laptop is connected "directly" to the printer.
Pages 5 and 6 of this document show how to interpret the printer's status display

The printer needs to connect to the router as described on page 62
There is a 2 minute timeout so be ready to press the WPS button on the router. There is usually a red reset button or possibly the reset button is behind a pin hole. That is NOT the WPS button.
Once the printer is on-line, the blue Wireless light stops blinking and remains on
Go to your laptops and search for the printer. If using HP Smart on the laptop, delete the printer and then "add it back" using search.
