You could get a smaller Epson printer, such as the Photo 750, and then use
special cartridges with "archival" inks. These have many of the qualities of
the inks used in the 2000P and bigger printers. These two web sites have some
details:-

Some of these inks, including pigment based and special all grey/black
cartridges for B&W photo printing, are made by the UK company Lyson:-

They also sell to dealers in the US.
