Larry-
I believe this is what I'm looking for.
Would Dan Burkholder's book be my best reference to get started making
negatives?
Would the printer manual be of help as well?

Be sure to get a model with 2880 dpi (Epson 1280), the
improvement over the 1440 models is very noticable. If
you want to go inexpensive and 8.5" wide is enough then
the Epson C80 is an excellent choice, someone was
dumping them on ebay a short while ago for ~$100.
