I do the following: 1) Shoot B&W film 2) Develop the negatives in the traditional way 3) Scan the negatives into Adobe Photoshop 4) Print them on an Epson Stylus printer. Advantages are the much easier manipulation in the computer, and no need to spend hours in the darkroom. As far as equipment, you need a slide/negative scanner (I have an HP Photosmart) and a good inkjet printer (Epson Stylus Photo, for example). And you still have the B&W negatives for archival purposes or if you ever change your mind about a digital vs. conventional darkroom. Good luck!
