If you're running *ubuntu 18.04 it's got hplip version 3.17.10, so the default version should be good enough to get your printer working.

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!
