The original photographer is deceased, there are no markings on the photos anywhere but still not allowed to print. Any suggestions?

Tell the printer you are the owner of the copyright that you inherited, then tell them you will sign a release of liability that states you are the owner. They can keep it on file in case anyone comes after them for copyright violation.

If there's no markings on it, how do you know if it's copyrighted? As far as how long it is......
§ 302. Duration of copyright: Works created on or after January 1, 19784
(a) In General. — Copyright in a work created on or after January 1, 1978, subsists from its creation and, except as provided by the following subsections, endures for a term consisting of the life of the author and 70 years after the author's death.

Scan the photo onto your computer's hard drive in jpeg format. Copy the jpeg file to a removable memory card. Bring the memory card to your local CVS or Walgreen's and plug it in to their self service photo machine. Order copies.

The rights belong to someone -- the photographer's heir. Contact him or her. If he or she says no, then you're out of luck.

Buy a all in one scanner and printer.
That's what I did.
