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).
