 - 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! Rating: - Best gift ever for my grandmother!We purchased this gift for my 88-year-old grandmother in June and have been beyond pleased with the Presto. My grandmother lives alone and, unlike my other grandparents, has not done well with computers in the past. We set up the Presto in about 10 minutes and have not had a problem since. And my grandmother LOVES her emails. We send her pictures and emails everyday just so she has something to get. Everytime she hears the machine's music start, she runs over to wait to see what pops out, and then calls us to thank us for the email or photograph or whatever. My brother is currently out of the country studying and he sends her updates every few days so she knows that he's safe. It's a great way to keep her in the loop and also to keep in touch because she calls us almost every day to check in. She told me that she feels a lot less lonely and she just loves getting emailed updates from us. She even bought a folder to keep all of her emails and pictures in. We are so pleased with the Presto and cannot say enough good things about it. I have recommended it to everyone i know with older parents and grandparents. It's a fantastic way to keep in touch with her and to make sure that she doesn't feel left out of the fun and news. I highly, highly recommend the Presto. Rating: - great for anyone who is not tech savvy we purchased the PRESTO printing mailbox for my senior citizen parents who's only tech experience is the TV remote.we have opened up the world of e-mail for them (be it only recieving) and they are thrilled !! we (the kids)and there chosen friends with e-mail can now send pictures ,news articles,jokes,ect... they now look forward to seeing what may pop out of that printer up to 5 times a day if they choose,and i monitor paper,ink, ect.online from my home 80 miles away.it's great ! they can also use it to recieve important documents from accountants,financial advisors ect, like a fax machine. so far ink is lasting good (purchase the 97 cartridge).so far so good. if it works as good for you as it does for mom and pops you'll be happy :)p.s.if you know anybody that fwd's everything under the sun dont give them the e-mail address they will burn up paper & ink and annoy the s*** out of you :) Rating:  - Just OKI purchased this product for my parents because I want then to be informed by e-mailing them articles that may interest them. This was also purchased so that pictures can be sent, especially since they have their first great-grandchild on the opposite coast. Unfortunately, you can't use photo paper in the machine which was a big disappointment. I'm still going to have to send them picture DVDs. Otherwise it works fine for the family needs. Rating:  - Be Warned: Will Not Work With Digital Phone LineMy grandparents and I were thrilled with the prospect of their receiving email messages and pictures without a computer. The thrill was short lived when the HP printer quit working, after transmitting one message. We had techs from the cable company and electronics store come take a look, and it was discovered that the HP Presto Printer will not work with common digital cable phone lines. When I called Presto they confirmed that the machine will not, in fact, work with a digital phone line. This REALLY should be stated in the product's description. Disappointing.
