That more or less sums up the situation. Not only that but you have
a modern device (from about 2018) that does not support AirPrint; a
quite amazing decision on Epson's part. The outcome is that you
cannot use the backported sane-airscan, which almost certainly would
have worked.
Two suggestions:
1. Download the Epson (non-free) drivers. Theses are proably your best
bet.
2. Use https://launchpad.net/~sane-project/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git. I
do not know how installation of such packages plays with buster.
