Digital BW, The Print

Ok a short note to see what happens here, My name is Mark W. I'm a 
Canon FD user along with a bunch of older rangefinders (Leica, Braun, 
Retina, Voigtlander, and Canon) I'm at a point where I want to 
drastically upgrade my digital darkroom I currently have a Canon 
D2400UF flat bed/transperancy scanner (2400X1200Dpi) and a HP 932C 
Printer 8.5X11.5 2400X1200dpi quad ink) I shoot both Color (mostly 
slides) and B&W (both C-41 and silver) Gateway EVF720 monitor (looks 
OK never matches anything exactly OK even close LOL)

What I want:

to scan 35mm B&W negs and Color Slides at a resolution that will 
allow me to print to 10X15 full frame (a little bigger would be nice 
but I would be very happy with high quality 10X15)

To have one or two (if need be) Printers that can create a 25+ year 
matte print in realistic color and B&W simular to what I get in my 
wet darkroom (I'm no Ansel Adams in the darkroom but they are sharp 
and most of the time the B&W looks pretty good)

To be able to do this without becoming a digital darkroom junkie or 
experimentor I need a proven formula that gets me very good looking 
work product I don't need Art gallery quality B&W or Fashion work 
color prints. I'm a Hobby Photographer who wants to make his own 
prints he can be proud. 

SO anyone got a direction for Hardware and Software (I'm a Win ME 
user with XP in the near future)

What I'm not is real good at is combining a half dozen computer 
things into one to get something I can't figure out how use to make a 
print anyway. So please don't go there unless there is no other way.

Any help like a simple list of what to buy I can use to start 
shopping and trying to find out how to use. 

My budget would be in the $2000.00 MAX range $1500.00 would be much 
better.

If this has all been answered before a dozen times sorry but I 
figured help is easier to find if a person asks the specific question.
