hello everyone.....i'm a complete newbie to the world of digital
photography, but have had my own darkroom for quite sometime now. i
just recently purchased a mid-grade film scanner and in addition to
the archiving of my black and white negatives, i'd like to make high
quality prints of my black and white negatives via a photo printer.

if anyone has any suggestions as to which printer out there would best
fit my needs in terms of high quality prints, i'd be greatly
appreciative!!!

thanks!!!!

Have a look at the Epson printers that use the pigmented inks. I believe
they have a set of black inks that does a great job.

epson 3000 converted to quadtone inksets (four levels of gray to black)
you get up to 16x20 on heavy art paper.

Without a clearer set of requirements you're unlikely to get good advice.
With that said...

If you intend to print both color and B&W and don't want to dedicate a
printer to each then I would recommend an Epson 2200 or 7600 coupled with
ColorByte Software's ImagePrint raster image processor. ImagePrint will
produce fine art quality B&W prints on the aforementioned printers using
their standard ultrachrome color inks. This is not a cheap solution. The
ImagePrint software cost almost as much as my printer. But the difference
in print quality for color prints is noticeable and for B&W it's a huge
improvement.
