When installing the printer on your computer with the printer software, you have the option to install for USB connection or wireless. If you have a wireless router where your computer is registered to, you can connect the printer to the same wireless network as your computer - this setup is called Infrastructure network.

If you're trying to connect the printer to your wireless computer without the use of a wireless router, then you would be required to install via wireless print server.

For more information about setting up your printer, please refer to the Lexmark X3500 Series User's Guide.
