ATLANTA, June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EarthLink, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELNK) today announced a referral program with Presto Services, Inc. EarthLink members now have the opportunity to purchase The Printing Mailbox, manufactured for Presto by HP (NYSE:HPQ) at a special low price.

"There are millions of Americans, especially over the age of 65, that don't have a computer or use the Internet.

"Through this special offer, we are providing a great opportunity to give family members and friends an affordable and easy-to-use way to be connected." The Presto Mail service converts email, digital photo attachments and PDF documents from any computer or email-capable mobile phone into beautifully formatted color printouts, which are automatically printed by a Presto Printing Mailbox. Presto connects through an existing telephone line and does not require a computer or Internet connection.
"Our subscribers consistently tell us that Presto improves the quality of their lives," said Peter Radsliff, president & CEO of Presto Services Inc.
