Ok found the answer had to install the HP_scan_pet from here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59015

Got the printer to work even the fax but can not get xsane to detect the scanner. anyone had an hp all in one scanner working in Slako 5.6?

QTWeb is working well here with slako 5.6 it's fast and seems to render eveything I need. great little browser.

you should be able to do that just boot up the live 5.6 cd and go through the installer and when asked click on upgrade instead of wipe. that way you should keep all you bookmard etc. , but as always it's a good idea to back up any critical data just in case thing do go wrong.
good luck.
