To convert a 1:96 model to a 1:75 model divide the 96 by 75

96/75 = 1.28 multiply by 100 to get the % to print at. So print the 1:96 scale model at 128% to get a 1:75 model. A 1:96 scale model is smaller than a 1:75 model so printing at a higher % will get you the scale you want. Make sure the parts will fit on the largest size paper that your printer can handle.

Here is a small scale conversion calculator program. works good.
Starship Modeler - ScaleMaster Scale Calculator

To use the calculator to get the above conversion use the Scale Conversion feature and enter 1 in the Current Value window, choose meters as the units, check Display results in metric, enter the appropriate scales in the scales windows, then click the Convert Value button. The result will be displayed in meters and centimeters. The centimeters is the % at which to print.
Here is a pic of the calculation:
