I setup a "photobooth": A couple Canon Selphy printers, a dual-homed wireless RaspberyPi and wrote a Python script that polls a gmail account for a jpeg attachment and round robins it to the printers using CUPS. The script also has gchat support to send the server commands (like blocking your friends' email addresses if they figure out how to spam you) and receive print alerts. Attaching a picture to an email, hitting send and getting a nice glossy a minute later is pretty cool. Somehow feels a bit more automated and seamless than the usual printing process.
