Presto consists of two components. The Presto Service, a unique digital delivery service which receives email, digital photos and other digital content from approved senders and converts them into beautiful printouts. And, the HP Printing Mailbox, which receives and prints the messages the Presto Service sends.

The HP Printing Mailbox shares an existing phone line to connect to the Presto Service and it uses plain paper and standard HP print cartridges. With Presto Service and the HP Printing Mailbox, family and friends send ordinary email and attached photos from any email client to a Presto user. Presto automatically transforms messages into beautiful full-color printouts.

Several times per day, on a schedule you choose, the HP Printing Mailbox dials in to the Presto Service to retrieve new messages and prints them in beautiful color--automatically! Presto only delivers messages from people on your Presto Friends list, so there are no ads, no spam, no junk mail. Presto service fee applies. Purchase the HP Printing Mailbox, then call 1-800-919-3199 or go online to www.presto.com to purchase the Presto Service plan that's right for you. Presto Service includes unlimited incoming email, photos and free content from the Presto Newsstand.

With the easy-to-use Presto Service, you get:

• Presto Mail: Send email just like you do today, from your regular email account to Presto and the HP Printing Mailbox receives it. Regular email and digital photos are turned into beautiful printouts and delivered to the HP Printing Mailbox.

Customer Reviews

Changed Mom's life in a really nice way
I had heard of the product before, but had my doubts - about the ease of use, but more about whether my 78 year old mother would use it at all. She had resisted getting anything that had the word email connected to it, whether a PC or even the service that is used on the TV, like some of her peers had. I thought if I purchased it, it would sit in a box in the garage - and who else in my large family would want such a thing.

Then my mother moved into a house not far from my sister, and my sister said she would hook it up if I sent it, which is what happened. Well, I have to say, it was extremely easy to set up on both ends. I live across the country, so I set up the web end of it with allowed email addresses and my sister was impressed that the printer set up was so quick and simple. 15 minutes max.

I have it set up to check email early morning, mid morning, noon, afternoon and evening. Now my mother goes into the room several times a day to check for email and really looks forward to hearing from people. It is very easy to keep her in the loop when emailing family members and she knows what is going on all the time as we exchange emails. It is a highlight of her day.

I very much recommend this product for anyone who wants another way to keep an elderly - or disabled - person in the loop. And even though I talk to her every week on the phone, this is one more way to keep in touch. The fact that it also prints photos attached or embedded is also very nice. And the yearly cost - printer, monthly service and ink is extremely reasonable given the benefit. I wish I had gotten it for her sooner.

Grandpa dislikes technology but loves Presto's Mailbox
I wanted to find a way to easily communicate with my grandpa, and I found this "mailbox" by Presto. At first I thought it'd be for the younger generation of grandparents (my grandpa's 86), but I read some reviews and found that many older grandparents liked it. When I first gave it to Grandpa, he had some reservations about it. But in the days that followed, he would tell me how much he enjoyed receiving "e-mails" from me. The best part is that I am easily able to send him pictures as well. While the photos are simply on white computer paper, they are still good enough quality that he can hang them up on his refrigerator to show his friends. Presto's mailbox has made communicating with my grandpa so simple and quick!

Great for Mom!
This was perfect for my elderly mother who is not "on-line". It was very easy to hook up (I wasn't even there) and managing online is easy. We had a few bugs in setting up the delivery times (took a few days for it to sync with five delivery times instead of three)and at first I was frustrated by many calls for service in which I received many different answers, but it was finally resolved and has worked perfectly since.

Having the youngest grandchildren 3000 miles away, it has cheered my mother immensely to get daily pictures of my boys. Very worth it!
