Digital BW, The Print

Hi all... new user here, and also new to B&W digital printing. 

From what I've read so far, the HP7960 does best with glossy 
b&w and the 2200 does best with matte paper.

Is this true?  In other words, can you get a decent glossy b&w 
print from the 2200 or a decent matte print from the 7960?

thanks for any info
