I know there are proprietary Linux drivers and software for the HP Envy Pro 6000 multifunctional prnter and scanner. I did not have any luck in macking the drivers working for Linux, and I was thinking if anyone has successfully used such a printer with FreeBSD.

Goodmorning all, this is my first time here and I'm in my first days with FreeBSD 13 , while I'm already dealing with NomadBSD since some months. Sorry then if I may appear much "knowledgeless" in my help requests, that is what I really am, and if I'm asking here means that have already...
