This should be of help
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:ha...r_installation
It will show you how to convert the required packages suitable for installing in your Slackware OS.

Linux drivers...

On printers I would recommend HP ; in my case I have a Deskjet 2132 cheap & cheerful

One thing about Hewlett packard printers is in Slackware hp-setup


bash-4.3$ hp-setup

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.16.5)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

Putting it succinctly prevention is better than cure go for HP- I have never failed to set up several different HP model printers both in UK & a HP laser in Ghana
