Default budgeting for a printer

hi all. i am putting together a business plan to make a go at being one of them there fancy photographers. i have selected the canon d40 as my weapon of choice and ab800 lighting for the studio... and i am wondering about printing.

a. what is the best starter printer for making fine art prints up to 11x17 in size.
b. if i havent made a decision on which printer to buy, i still need to set aside an amount in my proposal...any idea what a good number might be?
c. i want to use good quality paper. any suggestions on how much paper i would want to start out with for the studio, a good number for what that might cost and/or what kind would be best paper for fine art works.

my goal is to begin with limited edition batches of 100, but i plan on printing most of them on demand so i don't have to roll them all out at once.

hope this isn't too confusing...

any suggestions that you have would really help and will be greatly appreciated.

i are teh noob.
