You haven't said what you wanted the fingerprints for. They are a way of 
recording the constituent parts of a molecule, and are
less relevant for small molecules like those you mentioned. If you are 
looking for a unique identifier for the molecule InChI, InChiKey or 
canonical SMILES might be more useful. They can all be generated by 
OpenBabel.
