Hi,

somebody can provide for Puppy Slacko 64 bit Vers.t 6.3.2.
( based on Slackware 14.1.) a working version of

1) Hewlett Packard Linux imaging and printing driver /software called "hplip"
(required to do networkscanning).

The provided versions 3.15. and 3.16. of ppm do not work


2) Also a working version of pulseaudio
required for skype, Tor, firefox for sound.

apulse 64 bit of oscar talks does not work.

Maybe somebody can explain how to install slackware 14.1. compiled binarys including dependencies

also Email your answers to BerKlei@yahoo.com

My 64bit and 32bit apulse packages DO work and in some ways are better than trying to install pulseaudio, but I suggest putting the 3 apulse libraries inside the main browser (firefox) directory rather than /usr/lib (unpack the .pet and do this rather than clicking for standard install).

These latest browsers have a sandbox. You also need to disable this or set up a whitelist for the sound. There are lots of threads about this here on the forum.

For Tor Browser Bundle see my repack for Puppy (including apulse) here:-

Skype 8.x does not require pulseaudio or apulse as far as I know.

First, this is not the section of the forum to ask questions.
This is the section to post programs you have found or made for Puppy.

We the users of this forum are the ones that help to give some order to it.
Please help!!

Also, best to make one topic for each question.
Much easier to follow and keeps the suggestions and info specific.

Questions are best posted in the hardware section for hardware issues or in beginners or users sections.

What you need for your printer is probably here:
