You may want to poke around gutenprint (included in Slackware) first to
locate printers with CUPS ppd drivers already built in to save time
wrestling with .deb/.rpm driver files:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php
and also here for info and caveats on proprietary drivers:
http://www.openprinting.org/drivers
I've had good luck with HP printers and HPLIP - most of HP printers use
F/OSS drivers with some multifunction exceptions (plugin for scanning).
Color, of course, boosts the toner price by a bit and the draconian
"genuine" crapola is annoying.
