Digital BW, The Print

You really are going to have to run some tests.  I do have a coolscan 
V,  and here's what I've found.  With BW negatives, the scanning 
exacerbates the grain. As a result, fine-grained negatives scan better 
than course-grained ones. Another difference is that the scanner's see 
much more detail in the shadows than silver gelatin paper does.  I have 
negatives that were too underexposed to make good SG prints, but they 
scanned just fine.  Finally, scanner's get noisey with high density 
areas. So my recommendation are: 1. use fined-grained film, 2. use a 
fine-grain developer, such as D76 or Xtol straight. 4.  Give a little 
less exposure than you normally would for SG printing. (Less exposure 
will give finer grain and higher sharpness, but be careful to give 
enough exposure to get detail. Here's an example. For SG printing, I 
rate 4x5" TMX at EI 50.  For scanning I rate it at EI 100. ) 5. Develop 
less.  In zone system parlance, I give a Minus -1 development.  This to 
maximizes sharpness and minimizes grain, and it's easy to up contrast 
digitally if need.  Anyway, it should be pretty easy to run some tests 
for yourself.
