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!
