    I highly recommend finding a camera store or processing shop that has a
Fuji Frontier Digital Minilab.  Instead of exposing the negs from film on to
the paper, the Frontier scans the negatives.
    The neat part is that most people with a Frontier can take your files
from your digital camera (or any other source) and print them on actual
photo paper.
    Most labs price their Frontier prints rather inexpensively, like less
than a buck for a 4x6, which would hold two 2x2 passport photos.
