You might try CUPS (which I believe RedHat now uses as the default print server, replacing the lpr package). You can find CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) in woody. I installed *cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint cupsys-pstoraster kdelibs3-cups *foomatic-bin *foomatic-db *cupsomatic-ppd The last package includes 918 *.ppd files, including /usr/share/cups/model/IBM/Execjet_4072-bj200.ppd While this isn't your 4076, perhaps its close enough.
You configure CUPS via a local webpage, http://localhost:631 Installation of cups removed my print server package lprng, but then I only expect one printserver to dominate printing on one computer. I see your 4076 mentioned in the Unix printer compatability database, http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi There, select Lexmark, then select 4076. This spawns a webpage that says this Lexmark 4076 printer "Works with drivers for the HP DeskJet 500" But this also says the Lexmark 4076 is a "BW Inkjet 300x300" while you say it is a Colorprinter (hmmm). I also see your printer mentioned on Lexmark's site, http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.nsf/SelectPrinter?OpenForm&0 and their website you probably visited, http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.nsf/SelectPrinter?OpenForm&4076 If you download one of their drivers (eg, one for Windows 95, 76WN313E.EXE), then run that *.exe file on the appropriate computer, you likely get a *.ppd file that you can use in CUPS. But this is a too involved a solution, though I have seen Linux documentation mention this very solution: to run a *.exe file then get the needed *.ppd file. Of course, as said above, the cupsomatic-ppd supplied 4072 *.ppd might work well under CUPS.
