Rob:

1. Monitor calibration: In my view this is essential if you want to 
print in color. If you are only going to print in B&W it is desirable 
but not necessary.

2. ImagePrint: I think that using ImagePrint is the best way to go if 
you want good, neutral B&W prints from the 2200. I also like the 
ImagePrint "Tint Picker" which allows subtle tinting of prints.

But you should realize that, in order to go digital, you need to make a 
substantial investment of time in learning to work effectively with 
PhotoShop.

You haven't stated which scanner you are using. A good scanner is also 
important.
