It works with sunlight - I normally use a negative printed out on the
laser printer for this as a demonstration in one of the courses I teach,
though large actual negs are faster and more detailed. Generally the
images are weak with most papers designed for developing, although I've
got some interesting colours.
You might improve this by soaking with silver nitrate then drying rather
than using developer, or possibly a mix of silver nitrate and developer.
