Digital BW, The Print

Okay, you've probably had this one a zillion times already.  Here's
zillion-and-one:

I'm in the market for a good photo printer.  I'd like to spend less
than $800.  I typically print black and white, but sometimes do color.
 I'd like relative permanance and as close-to-silver-as-possible for
the money.

I'm moving from the traditional process, so any advice would be
helpful.  Also, if there are any good websites to recommend about
printer selection and reviews, I'd appreciate the referal.

Thanks ahead.
