I picked up an Epson c84/c86 for $70 and loaded it with the MIS EZ 
carbon inks as a dedicated B/W archival printer. It is terrific. I also 
use the Epson 2200 with ImagePrint which allows things like 'split 
toned' effects etc. There is also a free B/W driver for the Epson 2200 
which only uses the black inks, so with a minimal amount of work, the 
Epsons do great with B/W ... see 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/ if you want 
to get an idea about what many people are using for digital B/W 
printing.
