Hi, your MP500 is not natively a wireless printer. (You can view the full specs here.) You can add on the Bluetooth option for Bluetooth wireless, but in order to "make" it wireless to work on a wireless network, you would need to attach the printer to a wireless print server, such as the TP-Link TL-WPS510U 150Mbps Wireless Print Server. Initially there is some setup involved to change your print drivers and install the print server, but once you've done that it's ready to go and you can print over your wireless network.
