take them to CVS and they'll make prints for you. Your favorite store 
Costco does it too. Here's what happens:

They scan the negs. Digital data is sent to PMT printer which shoots 
light to photo paper, photo paper is processed, out pop prints

pretty much what used to happen but there isn't an enlarger anymore. 

Alternative:

Have them just scan the negs and burn a CD. You take the data home and 
output it yourself.
