Mm. Since they're very recent, it may be possible even if we have to use physical methods instead of chemical or vapor ones. Even if they aren't precise, comparisons can be made by having each of us handle a test paper to compare the prints. There's likely to be graphite pencil lead someplace...
[MOD NOTE: If you need specific chemicals, feel free to PM me what common household object or chemical you need and I'll decide if it's reasonable to find it in the setting. Stuff made specifically for the task like ninhydrin's a stretch, but iodine might be in something; Google's suggesting you'd get pretty crappy, watered down stuff from what I'd normally expect to find in a household, but I'll take your cases as they come.
If your character's handled any paper in a way to avoid leaving fingerprints, be sure to send a note to sheep_dog and make a case for why your character did so or anticipated potential fingerprinting. They'll get back to you if it doesn't fly. Otherwise, if the one leaving the note could leave an anonymous post on what finger prints are on the paper, aside from any who've touched it after the fact, when/if we get to that point, please and thank you.]
