Some of these printers have scan and email functionality, you can 
usually set this up in the web admin.

You'll want to change the example.com address to your own and it might 
want to talk to an external smart host.

I doubt you can email it print jobs, but there are utilities which i've 
seen that can do that, (monitors a pop account and sends a job to 
printer if something comes in to that address, eg a taxi bookings firm i 
know does this).
