7855 scanner not working

Asked by bmike1

I have an Envy Photo 7855. The printer works great but not so much the scanner with xsane. When are you going to be supporting this scanner or else what can I do to get it to run?

1. Your Linux Distribution and version. Linux Mint 18
2. Your printer make/model. given
3. If possible, run 'hp-check -t' and post the output. see below
4. A detailed explanation of your problem. self explanatory

 hp-check -t

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

it is not detecting the scanner and apparently plugins and dependencies
aren't being met.

Hi,
The hp-check logs shows many of the required dependencies are not installed. Can you install all the required dependency packages and try doing a scan job?

Can you help with this problem?
