SAN JOSE, California -- Presto Services Inc., a Mountain View, California-based startup, plans to announce details Tuesday of a service that allows baby boomers and their parents to stay digitally connected without both needing a computer.

Instead, the less-tech savvy recipient would only need a special inkjet printer designed to receive and print out the sender's e-mails of text or photos -- similar to a fax machine. The printer would have to be hooked up to a phone line but would not need a special Internet connection. It only receives e-mail and cannot send anything back.

Both the HP printer and the accompanying Presto service will be available in the fall. Presto's founder and CEO Joe Beninato would not disclose the service fees or the price of the printer."
