I've tried that and its a lot of work. After taking some photos, resizing, printing, cutting to the 2x2 size and then wondering if it was aligned right, I didn't want to take the chance screwing it up and have my passport renewal rejected because my photo was 1/16" off or something like that. Costco charges $4.99 and has them ready within minutes. You can't even buy decent photo paper for that price.
I have done it a couple times, in much less time than it would take to go to Costco and back. And no worry about the size being correct using the State Department photo tool.
