That will be an easy thing to do. I didn't realize how easy it was going to be until I googled it and found: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.18.9/hplip-3.18.9.run/download?use_mirror=nchc

I'm away from home at the moment but will take care of it when I return home.

The manufacturer's website at
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/
says you need to have at least 3.17.9 of hplip to have everything
supported on an HP Envy Photo 7855.  The older version you have
installed apparently doesn't do scanning, but it can print.  So it's
time to upgrade your hplip.  There's got to be something more recent;
that's kind of an older version AFAICT and I don't have ebuilds for
anything older than 3.18.6 here.  Hey, at least you don't need the
proprietary hplip-plugin package!
