I also have an Epson. Mine is WP-4530. It prints in color, scans, copies 
(reducing and enlarging on request) and sends and receives faxes. It 
uses large ink cartridges, unlike another Epson
printer I bought which uses little tiny ink sources that hardly last at 
all, so research your Epson choice carefully. I think the WP-4530 is a 
really excellent machine for all those purposes, and
it works perfectly with SANE. However, you will probably have to go to 
Epson and download drivers for it. I also don't know if it is still 
available.
