OK, so you guys have convinced me to take the plunge into digital printing -
- I'll probably pick one of the 1800's up in the next  couple of months.  I've 
got access to a Nikon slide/film scanner, so I'll give it a shot.

However, I haven't seen any reports on how this thing prints with B&W 
negs.  Do I still need to set up a darkroom for that, or can I just develop my 
own film and then scan and print to the Epson with satisfactory results?

I just like the idea of being able to print my own color shots without all that 
equipment, chemicals and associated learning curve.

My cameras are still analog -- OM4Ti, OM2, assorted Stylii -- but at some 
point in the upcoming year I'll probably supplement those with a DSLR as 
well.  But all of my darkroom experience is B&W, and with the ease of 
printing with something like the Epson, I don't have to take the time to learn 
the voodoo involved with color processing.
