I was talking about a version I can afford.

Actually, such a machine has been in common use for many years. Most
commonly, it's at the local one-hour photofinisher such as WalMart,
CVS, etc, and called a Fuji Frontier. There are others, but I think
Fuji was the first to get them out in use big time.
The film is processed normally, then scanned. A miniature "contact
sheet" (index print) is created digitally and that, and the rest of
the prints are 'light-jet' printed. A tri-color laser system exposes
the paper just like an inkjet printer prints on ordinary paper.
Another alternative was introduced when the Fuji Frontiers first
came out for those optical mini-lab owners who wanted to be able to
offer the contact sheet index print. This device was an LCD screen
that was positioned in place of the negative. The mini-lab could add
the LCD system to their older optical mini-lab system.
Personnally, I'll stick with my Eseco enlarger and Hope roller
transport in the color darkroom, and the Omega D2V and trays in the
B&W room. My computers are for downloading bootleg movies and doing
email!

I think what we will see soon is a 'silver-gelatin printer'. In
other words, prepare the file or negative scan digitally, and then,
print it via a laser printer to silver-gelatin paper, exposing the
paper with the laser. The rest is done in the darkroom. This is not
much different from the old imagesetters.
Before I forget, this way your hands will smell like hypo after a
Photoshop session.
