Epson "DURABrite" inks are pigment-based.  This means that the pages
should last a long time.  I don't know if other inkjet companies have
caught up.

(Inkjets are expensive per page.  We only use them when we need colour, 
and that is rarely enough that the jets tend to get clogged.)

A quick two-side sheetfed scanner can be quite useful.  Just remember
Stewart Russell's talks.

There is a SANE driver that should handle this scanner but it is
listed as untested and unmaintained.
