After a short archeological dig at my mom's house, I found my old Game Boy Printer. I have a lot of great memories with this, and it even still had some paper inside, though unfortunately well past its shelf life, being thermal paper. Luckily, I found that Seiko produces thermal paper rolls that fit the printer perfectly, albeit without the sticky backing.

We couldn't find the cable, so now I'm waiting for one to arrive from eBay - sadly a bit of a collector's item. Are there better ways these days to get pictures off of a Game Boy Camera? Yes. Do I have said ways? Yes. But also, I have this.

I was worried that it might be dead due to some corrosion on the battery pins that I managed to mostly pick off. Turning it on while holding the feed button prints a test image and after two tests, it was looking good.
