The wife's return may be able to be netfiled, whereas yours may need to be mailed for a number of reasons.  If you mail them both, you must be sure to choose print for mailing, rather than print for your records.  CRA will only accept the condensed return.

It looks like you have the installed version.  If so, click on the forms icon and then type in netfile or efile, whichever shows up.  I can't remember and I am on a Linux machine at the moment, so no access to my installed version.  There are a series of boxes in there that may be checked or unchecked to allow the barcode.
