Got around to testing 15.11.03 on my Bay-Trail machine (Asrock Q1900M mobo with intel j1900 quad core processor, RTL8168g chipset ethernet, intel 4000 HD graphics, 4Gb RAM, 80Gb SATA HDD).
Frugal Grub4Dos install booted cleanly. Video, sound, mouse, USB all perfect. The RTL8168 would not connect until the patch in the attached pet was applied. Once that was done and the correction in post#2 applied and hplip 3.14.10 installed, the HP4500 set up but would not print (see my post above).
without patch:

I've tried fiddling around with firewall and firewall settings, also swapped in the slackocurrent kernel but still no printing. Jobs aren't spooled... Got the same behavior in slacko 6.3.0, printer set up fine, just won't print.
Edit: The firmware files are in /lib/firmware of slacko 6.3.0 so also could be taken from there.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
