I want a device that connects to a DSLR digital still camera that when a pic is snapped in the camera, a small printing device spits out a perforated ticket with the file name of that pic printed on each half of the ticket. Photographer tears the ticket it half, keeps half and gives the other half to the person or persons whose pic he/she just took.

I do not want a device that has to sit on a table while the photographer stands in one place and takes the pics. What I want is a device that's either host powered or can use battery power that sits on the hip, belt clip, backpack or other convenient clothing or accessory item of the photographer which allows the photographer to roam freely throughout the event and snap pics, but to easily hand out the printed tix to people he/she snaps pics. Of.

Make sense?

Interesting... I did find printers that probably could be used in the application. EM 220 (http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/printers/mobile/em220.html)

Although, I was thinking on how such a device could work.

One way comes to mind is connect to the camera via USB or some sort of wireless USB and print the filename of the last picture or the picture itself.

Just print the time and use the EXIF data to locate the pic.

Just keep both clocks synchonized. You take a pic. Sometime later, you push a button that prints the time on your funky printer. The pic is then the picture before the current time.

What you print could effectively be a business card.

That might be doable. There is no connection to the camera.

You just need software that can locate a pic by EXIF data.

You might add another identifier of your own choosing that say selects a memory card #.
