Thanks very much for the reply, Clayton.  I have already discovered
both your site and Paul's.  Tremendous resources!  I have also seen
the R220 on eBay (new, unopened box) for as little as $40, which seems
crazy to me because the ink is worth more than that.  At any rate, I
will porbably opt for the 220.  At present I am using an HP Photosmart
7760 with the optional PhotoGray cartridge, and it does an OK job with
BW prints, but it does not have the capability of BO printing.  

Thanks again for the reply.
