Slackware
Note: Slackware has not been tested, however assuming that your system meets the minimum system requirements HPLIP should function correctly.
Most successfull installs have been with using HPIJS only and not the full HPLIP.
See this document for information on how to install HPIJS. HPIJS provides only the printing functionality for your printer, all other extended functionality will not function with HPIJS. ie, scanning, photo card, etc.
Review the HPLIP system requirements for more information.
