A full installation of Slackware already comes with Ghostscript, Ghostscript Fonts, CUPS, and foomatic-rip, so you'll only need to install pnm2ppa and the corresponding CUPS PPM driver for your printer. You can download the latest version of pnm2ppa from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa/ their SourceForge page].
<pre> tar -zxvf pnm2ppa-''version''.tar.gz cd pnm2ppa-''version''</pre>
You'll need to change the Makefile so that the binaries are installed to the right place.
Old version of Makefile:
<pre> BINDIR="/usr/local/bin" CONFDIR="/etc" MANDIR="/usr/local/man/man1"</pre>
Makefile after necessary changes:
<pre> BINDIR="/usr/bin" CONFDIR="/etc" MANDIR="/usr/man/man1"</pre>
After this, compilation and installation should be pretty easy:
 <pre> make && make install</pre>
Now, you need the corresponding PPD file for your printer, which you can get from the [http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pnm2ppa PPD-O-Matic page]. The CUPS configuration for your printer will require this file.
