What MAY be possible, is to download the MAC drivers, and change the .dmg extension to RPM or some linux type Ubuntu can read, [don't know as I use PuppyLinux] and see if it will install, or if the PPD file is there
MAC works, apparently, bottom of this link

There are drivers for Mac and XP. Might include a PPD file

Do you have a CD with software for the printer? For one of my old
