Most emulators are able to export a PNG that you could then print with something like this project! They don't support using a webcam with the ROM for the Game Boy Camera though.
If you buy the real thing, there are lots of projects for extracting and printing the pictures though.
This project implements a fake GB Printer that you can then access via WiFi to download the prints: https://github.com/zenaro147/NeoGB-Printer
This project I wrote a while ago allows you to use a printer very similar to the one in this submission as an actual Game Boy Printer, connected to an original Game Boy: https://github.com/iamjackg/esp32-phomemo-gameboy-printer

Nice! I built a 'printer' based on the ESP8266, following this project. I didn't tested it's compatibility with anything else other than the Camera tho. It works fine to get photos out of the Camera and directly to a phone, since file transfers are done by a wifi network created by the ESP8266.
It was in a box with some other games for 20$

Nice! I got a green Camera and it's very fun to take photos with it. And you can build a device to transfer photos from your Gameboy to a smartphone by following this.
Where are my Game Boy Camera fans?

I didn't took so many photos with it, but got like 2 cool pictures of my cats. I'm finishing this project so I can export the photos, it's easy and cheap to do it. I'm planning to build a 'power bank' with rechargeable lipos that have both a 3V output to power my GBC and this module so I can export camera photos on the go. Still waiting for a few stuff to arrive so I can finish this project.
Has anyone tried whether the Retrode2 can export Gameboy Camera save files?

Not really the answer to your question and I'm not sure if you want to export the photos or just the savefile, but I'm using this (https://github.com/HerrZatacke/wifi-gbp-emulator) to export my photos.
Any love for the GB Camera out there? Moon didn't fit in a single frame so I had to stitch a few shots together

I found this project that allows you to get the photos using a phone or pc via wifi. Seems to be easy enough.
