Print Center (starting with OS X v10.3) requires PPD files to be compliant with the PPD 4.3 specification. The last PPD from Dataproducts for the LZR 1580 was only 4.0-compliant. Fortunately, OS X provides a command-line tool called “cupstestppd” that tells you the ways in which your PPD does not comply with PPD 4.3. I ran this against the PPD for the LZR 1580 and created a version of the PPD that is 4.3-compliant. You can download it here.
