I want my printer to have an email address

1

Here's what I need: have my printer automatically print all emails coming to a specific address. This way, a forward to this address will have it printed. Including attached documents of course.

What is the best way to do it?

Opening a mail account/some polling application solution comes to mind. Ideas will be much appreciated.

In Microsoft Outlook you can create a rule that will print every email when it is received.

Mozilla Thunderbird can do it with an add-on.

Many MTAs allow you to specify a program to be run when an email is received at a specific address. Simply have the program run decode all attachments and print everything out.
