If it's one of those ePrinters from HP you could probably go through
the set up for the service on the printer. It essentially sets up an
email account on an HP server so you could forward the message to your
printer's email address and it'll just print. Just make sure any
firewall settings allow access to the printer from the internet.

I was playing around with mine several months ago just to see what and
how it did it. Haven't done much with it since then. I was able to
take pictures with my phone and email them to my printer.
