Right now you're not going to get "archival quality prints" out of a printer. Ink and paper for printing haven't reached a sufficient state of maturation for you to expect them not to experience serious breakdown past about 35-60 years. Higher end printers and inks (read: not Epson) may push that out to 75, if you get lucky.
This, of course, depends on how you store the product of your printer. However, a properly processed print will last 150+ if cared for correctly.
tl;dr: what you're asking for here isn't possible with what you can get from Best Buy.
