Linux driver for HP printer/scanner/copy 1410 -which one i should use?
That one which is on gslapt list or external?

Bonus question: How i should install the external one?

Mimosa, i checked the site for my driver, but i can't see my printer. But on other hand i get CD with MAC OS X (which is UNIX based system), so can i use it?

OS X is hybrid of NetBSD, FreeBSD and implements UNIX, Slackware is UNIX like... I wouldn't suggest you to do that... Instead you could have checked on HP website for drivers. If you have done it you would found this. The best idea would be to check for compatibility of your HP with another that has drivers on CUPS (google it).
NOTE It may or may not work. Use at your own responsibility.

I checked this site, but I'm not sure which distribution should select.

No you cannot run any Mac OS X binaries in Slackware. Check the hplip page or check http://www.openprinting.org/printers for CUPS settings for your printer.

Also "HP printer/scanner/copy 1410" is not a valid model name. Provide better informations, I guess you have a "HP PSC 1400 All-in-One Printer", which results in http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/mo ... eries.html
hplip is in our repo.

OK, thanx.

Another problem occurred, somehow HP device manager doesn't seems to work.
Another problem is i can't import my printer in libreoffice printer manager, because i can't find the specific file for it (i`m asking for route-specific or not-so-specific location).

Have you installed driver from the Salix repo? If not, try that first and check if it works after rebooting!

This version was installed from Salix repo:
3.11.3a-i486-1

Don't ask why it really doesn't work.
