Digital BW, The Print

Just joined the group - pleased to meet you all.
 Have a couple of questions, and I'll apologise upfront as they've 
probably been asked before. 
 I'm currently working in Kurdistan (north Iraq), for an NGO, and it 
looks like my work is going to neccesitate me buying a digital 
setup, mainly for ease of download and transfer. Having always 
worked on analouge, currently m/f Mamiya 6 and Hexar, the field is a 
bit new. What I would like to do is be able to print my photos here 
as well. Thankfully I'm heading home soon, for a week or so 
(Australia) so I expect to buy a scanner (guess who's going to try 
and bring back b+w chem across the border..)printer and paper/ink.
 My main concern is a printer that excels in B+W, but colour is 
important too.
As I'm not going to have much time back home - and there's nothing 
here - I'm trying to do the research now. What I need is a; 
 -printer for b+w, happy with 8"x10" prints, but able to do good 
colour too. The 8x10 is a compromise as i'm going to have to lug it 
back with me, but obviously larger prints would be nicer. I've been 
able to do very little research on this on the web as it's so 
slooooow here, so I appreciate your help.
 -inks, how much of which colours (to print say, 50% b+w/colour?) 
Again, there are no supplies here, and I'm probably staying for a 
year when i get back.
 -paper, which brands to suit which printer, gloss/mat? etc. I've 
been using Ilford Multigrade IV gloss, and Agfa Classic Premium 
gloss - both fibre based papers for years now, and am not a fan of 
r/c. What would be the closest equivalent of printer paper to 
convential fibre papers?
 -lastly (i think) what else would i need to be self-sufficient? ie; 
problems with clogged heads, software (i have p/s), cableing etc.
 Thank you for all your advice in advance, and if there are any Q 
then post it and I'll try and reply asap.
 Thanks,Alex
