I'd like to send my mother a January 2010 calendar. Are any available yet or will they be soon?

I'm willing to bet that most of us purchased the Presto service for elderly parents. Some are home-bound. Some are in assisted living. Some are in a care home. They're not very active, don't travel much, don't do big gardening projects, don't do home improvement projects. They couldn't care less about celebrity gossip or astrology. Crosswords are too hard, Sudoku is a mystery. Yet - most of the Newsstand content is geared to the above. Huh??? Who does Presto think they serve??? Most of their content seems appropriate for those in their 60's, still very active, and online. A MAJOR disconnect in my opinion....... For example, when I first set up the machine, it printed out 2 FULL PAGES WITH PICTURES from Better Homes and Gardens/50+ The Right Way on makeup tips to make your skin look fabulous! I don't think my 83 year old mother would be interested in that, LOL! I immediately canceled that subscription. But the Newsstand options are very limited for Presto's demographic........ That's my only beef with the service, but it's an important one!!

A year ago I installed the Presto Printer in my 83 year old mother's assisted living apartment. It has made a world of difference in her life. She loves receiving the pictures and emails and I truly feel it has helped her significantly in her memory disorder - our nice word for Alzheimer's. I have not had a single problem with the printer or the service during this time and I was a huge fan! A week ago I realized her ink was low, thanks to a message to her Presto account. I put in a new cartridge, but a day or two later I realized her messages still were not printing - thanks to the new account feature confirming whether emails are sent or not. Today I brought over another new ink cartridge thinking that maybe that would resolve the problem. Unfortunately, another cartridge did not change the situation and I could not get the printer to dial out correctly. Dreading the thought, I called Customer Service. Tyler quickly...

Here's what happened: A new presto was unpacked, installed, plugged into a power source and an analog telephone line. It made the initial telephone call to presto.com and printed out a sheet with a security-code/password to initiate the account. The code was entered and accepted via the presto.com website. Everything looked great except that the telephone line into the house was now unavailable. Static is heard on the telephone line when you pick up any of the handsets. The presto is unable to initiate a call to collect email. Unplugging presto from the telephone jack restores the line so that the telephones work. Plugging presto back into the telephone jack results in static on the line and makes the telephones unusuable. It's as if presto did not hang up or is somehow taking over the line, except that presto also can't dial out to collect email. A regular telephone works fine when plugged into the jack presto is using. I've checked with the telephone company and they say the line is definitely analog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Her friends after seeing it, liked it so much , they went out and bought one themselves so their own adult children living all over the world could send them e-mails. However , there is one issue I wish could be improved upon, and that is when you attach a picture, or embed an image , it prints out on a seperate page from that of the text message even if the message is very short. In an attempt to work around this issue, I've tried writing the e-mails sent to my mother's Printing Mailbox as a "word" documnet , and embedding the photos or images in the text of the word docment where I want the photo or image to appear, then saving this as a "PDF" file, and then finally attaching this to the e-mail sent to the Printing Mailbox , but when it prints out, the first page is blank , except for the subject line, and the second page then prints as the complete PDF document.

I did some troubleshooting and found that after the printers 6AM call the phone line would behave as if a a phone had been left off the hook. Simply picking up a phone somewhere in the house and hanging it back up would clear the off hook condition. What can be done to fix this? My mother has phone service through the local cable company and they have been out to verify their equipment and the phone lines in the house are healthy. Thank you.

Some of us could contribute messages that could be personalized by other 'shoppers' who would then have interesting content to send to their folks. M parents are just thrilled when the Presto produces that delivery tone...so I'd like good stuff to send them. How about a free 'message store'? We can select a message, personalize it and send it on it's way from our regular email.

To dial out you dial 9 followed by the number. The Mailbox worked for several months and then was unable to dial in. The problem appears to be that the 9,, dialing prefix causes a wait that results in an offhook signal from the phone system. Dialing that state is pointless. Is there a way to set the dialed number desired to include the 9 (e.g. 918667097978)? I cannot understand how it worked before as no changes to the phone system (that I can ascertain) have occurred.
