Scan to email can be done from a PC using the HP App. Your printer must have the full feature driver and possibly other scanning tools and optional modules such as OCR. If you have enabled 2 step verification then you need an app password instead of your account password. Expand Spoiler

The printer cannot use the account password. A special "application" password is required as discussed here by HP.

You cannot use your account credentials. Your username (email) is ok but you need an app password as discussed here by Microsoft.

Some HP printers support Scan to Email on the printers control panel, but it must be configured first through the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS). It is not enabled out of the box. This HP video shows how to configure the Laserjet Pro. Click the spoiler to get an explanation of what is done in the video.

Step 2. Open the Embedded Web Server
On a computer connected to the same network:
1. Open a web browser.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in the address bar.

Scan to a network folder is not supported in 9730e.

You can set it up to scan to PC ( from the printer's control panel directly to a selected PC ) or, as mentioned, scan to email.
