Digital BW, The Print

Dear List:

I have an HP Deskjet 842C, okay stop laughing.  All of the long term inks I have 
seen are for Epson printers, is there a long term ink, for HP printers, even 
something like in a refill kit?   Is the HP black ink reasonably good for longevity?  

What kind of papers could give good results with a printer such as this one, other 
then the standard HP paper?

What about the Ilford Papers, always liked their film, and silver papers,
even liked the Ilfochrome, although it was Cibachrome back then.  The maximum print
size on my printer is 8.5x14, but back in my fume room days, I never printed larger then 8x10
anyway.  

If your going to suggest a different printer, don't bother, it's way, way, way down the 
list.  

Last item, what is the best B&W film for scanning, I am leaning towards the 
chromogenics, because they are more friendly towards Digital ICE, and can
be easily run through C-41 chemistries, just about anywhere?
