I've been printing for several years with just:
1) Computer w/ Photoshop
2( Printer (OK I have two) 
3) Ink
4) Paper (several kinds)
But I don't think I have anything else on your list. Never missed any
of it. 

I suggest you save your money to buy more film, paper and ink. Then
shoot and print more.
