Its possible, if you have a networking module of some sort with the printer.
No printers by default have a wireless NIC on them. You would have to have the printer connected to your LAN in some way (wireless or wired) to print to it.

You do need a print server, but it can be inexpensive. I have just such a setup at home that is very problem free. Get the Linksys PSUS4 PrintServer for USB with 4 Port Switch for less than $60 at Amazon. This is a pretty good price.
You plug your printer into the Printer Server USB port, plug the print server into your router. The print server has 4 extra Ethernet port that you can plug your PC's into. You have to set up the print server and each of you PC's. Just follow the instructions. It's pretty easy.
LinkSys has been selling this print server for 3 years. I lost one to lightning surge and went back to buy another one. It's one of those things they call a pocket printer server (like you can carry one with you anywhere). I've tried two other ones. This one has the easiet setup and acts also acts as a 4-port ethernet hub, which is very convenient for me.

No. The X2350 does not have a network card, nor a wireless adapter built in or as an optional component.
You could use an HP C7180 for example.
