I doubt you can email it print jobs...

Well, I can't think of any other reason why the printer would be running
an SMTP _server_. I mean it isn't as if it is going to be handling
outgoing e-mail for anybody.

Scan to email would use it. Possibly also it could email supplies status messages also, even to an arbitrary non-local address. "Dear owner, hope your vacation is going well. Just wanted to remind you I'm low on yellow toner. Also, I think I heard a noise downstairs. It's probably nothing."
