They do not come with them, but it is pretty cheap to just get them printed off at a store as you would normal pictures. There are printer available, but they're expensive. Canon printers (As in normal printers) are pretty good with being able to print photos, though. If you've got a good printer at home, that can be used with photo paper to print shots yourself.
