Digital BW, The Print

Hi, I'm new to the list and a lot of this printer technology is new to 
me.....as I understand it, there is not yet  a good output device to 
create master b.w contact printable negatives  from the digital 
scan of a conventional negative. Is this true?

Also, what are the current reccomendations for a desktop printer 
to output b.w prints from a b.w negative file, for 8 1.2 x 11prints?

I realize this is a bit simplistic but thanks in advance for your 
replies.
