Uh, what? As I said, my printer sends status reports like "I'm jammed" by SMTP.
In fact printers do all sorts of stuff by e-mail. I have a new Canon scanner/printer where I can push a few buttons an it will scan a stack of papers and e-mail me the PDF, or it can be a fax machine and forward incoming faxes as e-mail. It only cost $200, it's not big or fancy. The old printer even had a way to pick up messages by POP and print them. The new printer does STARTTLS but there are plenty of old ones that still print fine but don't.
I do not understand the point of snarky, misleading comments like this, but I wish they would stop.
