You could get something like this and set up an order system that way. It's not going to send the pictures to the printer for you, but it will collect the money and send you a nice, clean email stating exactly what they want.

I use Gallery2 with the PayPal cart module to handle limited print orders, and it works well (http://matthewbotos.com/gallery). People can order various size prints and other products through a web form and pay immediately with PayPal. I get an email with the order details and can fill it with any printer (currently Apple print services via Aperture).

It's nice to "ring up" every sale, have full control over cropping, and only pay a small PayPal fee. For greater volume/automation, there is a Digibug module with a higher commission rate.
