in case the original poster is not familiar with it, cups is the common
unix printing system. since the poster wanted to know about setting up
printers, he might want to try 'cupsconfig'. this is a webbased config
utility.

i'm using redhat, but i would suspect it comes with slackware.

 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
  the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to
  drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship,
  or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the
  people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
  easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
  denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country
  to greater danger."
