Just plug the printer in, and you can start receiving emails, photos, and more! View larger.

Simple Set Up and Great Looking Prints
The Presto system is comprised of two components: The HP Printing Mailbox and the Presto Service. The HP Printing Mailbox uses HP Thermal Inkjet Technology for great quality prints on regular paper, and is designed for simple operation. Installation consists of plugging it in and connecting it to an analog phone line. Note: The Printing Mailbox does not work with VOIP phone lines.

The printer has a paper tray with a 50-sheet capacity, and supports letter size paper. Print quality is 600 x 600 dpi in full color, so you'll have beautiful looking photos and crisp text. The printer has a maximum speed of 10 pages per minute.

Included is an HP 95 tri-color inkjet print cartridge, and the HP 95 or 97 tri-color inkjet print cartridge is recommended.

Using The Printing Mailbox With The Presto Service
The Printing Mailbox and the Presto Service work together to make sending messages and photos to someone without a computer a cinch. First, family and friends send email and digital photos to a personalized Presto email address as they usually would from their computers and phones. Presto then formats the message, and it is delivered to the HP Printing Mailbox. Up to five times a day, the HP Printing Mailbox dials into the Presto Service to retrieve messages, and automatically prints them out in full color.

Senders have a choice of different email templates for special occasions, so it's easy to send a beautifully formatted letter. Senders can also get delivery confirmation of anything they've sent. PDF documents are supported as well, and any that are attached to an email are printed out along with it, so you can send tax forms, movie tickets, maps, and much more.

For the recipient, it is like a letter appearing in the inbox, all without a computer. Additionally, there is no need to worry about spam, ads, or junk mail since Presto only delivers messages from people on your friends list.

The Presto Service also lets you create personalized monthly calendars, and includes a wide variety of content such as recipes, articles from the Wall Street Journal, Sudoku and Crossword puzzles, and more.

The Presto Service requires a subscription fee that starts at just $12.50 per month. Contact 1-800-919-3199 or go to the Presto website to set up this service after you've purchased the HP Printing Mailbox.

The HP A10 Printing Mailbox measures 15 x 6.5 x 18.4 inches (WxHxD) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Watch out for an extra expense! January 6, 2009
B. Flahive (Texas)
After purchasing the Presto Mailbox and installing it for my parents, it would not work. After several phone calls to Presto, they informed me I had to purchase a digital to analog converter for the mailbox to work since my parents had digital phone and television from AT&T. That was another $125.00 expense I was not expecting. A Presto employee said she had noticed many customers had not been informed of this possible added expense.

My sisters tried to set this up for my mom. They are both computer savvy. They were unable to ever get it to print an e-mail, though the account, when viewed on the web by the sender, showed all mail successfully delivered. The web also randomly showed a bunch of error messages like "out of paper" or "door open" though the person standing right there could confirm that was not the case. So if you are thinking you are going to be able to manage your parents account from a remote location and know just what's going on- think again. The notion that an elderly, non-computer literate person could set this up themselves is a joke. My sisters found Presto tech support to be condesending and insulting. The instruction manual left out major important pieces of information-like you cannot use a spliter on the phone jack where you connect it- and the phone help was rude and unable to solve the problems.

Now it falls to me to return the *&%#**! thing because my mom is completely confused and frustrated by it. Isn't that just exactly what this thing claims to eliminate? Now she just wants it out of the house and will ever try any new technology again. Thanks a lot Presto.

FANTASTIC! December 30, 2008

Really thrilled with this purchase. Haven't seen my parents this excited about a gift in a long time. They are unable to drive so they now feel "connected" with the rest of the family. Can't recommend it enough for parents, grandparents, or anyone without a computer. Love, Love, Love it.

Printing Mailbox/Presto a HIT! December 22, 2008
MWB
Mom does not have internet connection and doesn not want one. The printing mailbox/Presto service is perfect. She LOVES it! She looks forward to seeing printed pages when she walks by the printer. She feels more in touch and it gives her something fun to think about. So far (about 2 weeks), it's been Great!

This is an excellent service December 15, 2008

I have been completely thrilled with the Presto service. My mom lives 14 hours away from her first grand child and I am able to email her pictures once a week. She is so excited to get the pictures every week.

I am also really impressed with the updated website Presto has released. There are several nice new features. The cost of the printer and service I think are well worth it especially for grandparents that do not know how to use a computer.

I think the best feature is that you can send pictures. Also it makes me think of calling my mom more often to see if she got the pictures.
