| | | Help loved-ones stay connected to the family through email and digital photos without them needing a PC or Internet connection! The HP Printing Mailbox and Presto Service provide a solution to bring grandparents online without the hassle or cost of a PC.
Great for Family Fun
Todays busy families stay connected through email and digital photos sent through the Internet. Yet grandma and grandpa are all too often left out of family fun because they aren't online, or have difficulty operating a PC and managing photo downloads. Presto connects grandparents back to the rest of the family through the HP Printing Mailbox which automatically prints emails and digital photos using a regular phone line. Unlike a fax machine, Presto is contacted through an email address, prints in full-color, doesn't need a dedicated phone line or incur any toll charges and was built to be simple for grandparents to use.
Support for Caregivers
Fun is fun, but having a communications tool that fits the busy lifestyle of people providing care to their parents or grandparents can literally be a lifesaver. Many families send Presto owners reminders of doctor visits, when to take medications and schedules of family events. Presto also helps keep minds active with daily deliveries of puzzles and articles on many interesting subjects (subscriptions included with Presto Service at no extra charge). Best of all, Presto helps spread the responsibility of caregiving to the extended family.
The Perfect Surprise Gift
Most grandparents have experimented with technology and many have said, No thanks! Presto is different than other user-friendly technology products. It was designed from the ground up by Hewlett Packard and Presto Services Inc. to be easy for someone who is tech-shy to set-up, use and enjoy. Current Presto users love how easy it is to operate and how it helps connect them to the rest of the family (chat with current Presto users at the PrestoPlace.com online community).
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.

5 of 5 A GREAT SOLUTION Tuesday, July 15, 2008 Sue from Phoenix, AZ
I purchased the printer mailbox for my 83 yr old mother. She is by herself a lot of the time and when I saw the information about this printer I thought it was a wonderful solution to keep her in touch with the family. She does not have a computer and the only way to keep in touch with her is by phone. This way I can write a note to her and she has something to look forward to. The rest of the family is also sending her emails and pictures of the grandkids. So far she really likes it. I would recommend it for anyone that has a family member that is not up with computers but they want to be able to send information, letters and pictures by the internet. It is also very affordable and Buy.com made the purchase very easy. It arrived to my mother in just 2 days! What service!! Thanks HP and Buy.com! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 GREAT PLACE TO "BUY" Monday, January 07, 2008 A Customer from Wichita, Kansas

5 of 5 ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Wednesday, January 02, 2008 Robin from Troy, OH
We just bought this as a Christmas present for my husband's grandparents - both in their 90's and NO computer skills at all. It was SOOOOOO easy to set up that I couldn't believe it - I didn't even need my husband's help! And they are having so much fun with it. They love getting messages from grandchildren, family and friends, near and far. Their "friends" list is growing quickly, and they check the machine all the time for new messages. Can't say enough good about it. And I love how it lets me know how they are doing with their ink/paper supply! Very cool! Thank you! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Awesome product for the technology challenged! Monday, December 31, 2007 A Customer from Charlotte, NC
I purchased this for my 79 year old parents. I set it up in aboout 20 minutes and the e-mails started coming in.
Excellent value and very easy to use. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Gift! Wednesday, December 19, 2007 Contisinga@msn.com from Atlanta, Georgia
I bought this as an early Christmas present for my Mom and Dad. It was very easy to set up, works well, and it was great to see them reading the e-mails from family members who weren't able to be with us at our Christmas celebration! I think they will enjoy it for a long time. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Printing Mailbox is a super product Monday, December 17, 2007 Tom H. from Annandale, VA
I bought the Printing Mailbox for my 89-year-old father and he loves it. I set it up for him -- it checks for email four times each day and starting the first day he looks forward to checking to see if he has any printed email. I found the best price on buy.com (and the shipping was free). The product was very easy to set up and it works great. The Presto service has even sent me an email to tell my that my father's printer was out of paper -- pretty cool. The only downside of this product -- as with any printer -- is the expense of replacement ink cartridges. Overall, the product and email service are very innovative, easy to set up, and bring great satisfaction to someone like my father who is older and who does not want a computer.

5 of 5 The perfect gift for the computer-phobic Tuesday, July 03, 2007 A Customer from Illinois
Bought this for my 84-yr-old dad for Father's Day. He has lived alone for the past 10 years, and wouldn't touch the computer we gave him. But he loves his printing mailbox! He feels more in touch with the family, and enjoys the daily crossword and weekly recipes from Wolfgang Puck. Set-up was very easy, and so far no problems with the printer. Also, I can't say enough about the Presto.com service. A well-conceived and well-executed concept, and on top of that a great value for the price. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nana just loves it! Monday, June 18, 2007 TOMPIC from Lincoln, NE
First, Buy.com has been a great place to shop. Price points are excellent as is service and deliverability. Now on to the HP10A Printing Mail Box and Presto Service.
Talk about easy to set up, it was a breeze. I set it up at my place first to get working before giving it to my mother (Nana to all the grandkids). Did call Presto to be sure all was OK and the service there was fabulous. They even called back later just to be sure everything was OK.
Took to Nana's, plugged it in and off it went. I set up all the grand kids and nieces/nephews who had not been able to communicate with Nana for some time because of her failing eye site and inability to use a computer and email. Nana is 87. The large font option is great.
Now the kids communicate and send a picture or two and she is in 7th heaven. Has worked for a week now without a glitch.
If you know someone who's life would be enhanced by Presto and an HP10A, just seeing their excitement when they get a brief note and picture from grandkids they have not heard from in a long time, you would say, at twice the price it would be a bargain. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great for older parents/friends Tuesday, January 09, 2007 tuck030689@aol.com from fort valley, georgia
The printing mailbox is the greatest tool that I could have ever given my parents who are 80 and 85 years old. They look forward to letters and pictures from my sisters and me, their 5 grandchildren and especially the pictures of the great grandkids. My dad told me yesterday that mom really enjoys all the mail she has received. Highly recommended with great ease of use. Marvelous idea!!! Was this review helpful?
1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 very easy to use Monday, January 08, 2007 Bernadette - Zackco@aol.com from Suffield, Ohio
We bought 3 of the HP mailboxes to give as Christmas gifts. We set them up online and created email addresses and everything that needed to be done before we gave them. Once they were opened all they needed to do was plug them in - it really was that easy. My father-in-law moved his from where it was initially set up and something wasn't right (very well was his fault) but we called and they were very helpful in getting it back on track. I am sure the price will go down on them and they could have been a little cheaper for what they are - just a mailbox with no capability of sending email. For what we got them for, they are a great product. We set them up for older grandparents that do not have computers. We were even able to set up one Presto account and add each individual mailbox to it even though they are seperate boxes at sperate residences and seperate email addresses. We were just charged a small fee for adding addresses. Was this review helpful?
