OzTeX uses PAP to talk to the printer directly, and uses PDEF 10 in the
LaserWriter file. Unfortunately, it is looking for the LW file in the System
folder, not in the new printer folder. So just move or copy the LW file
to the system folder level and all will be well. An alias won't work; you
have to move or copy the LW file itself. However, you can try putting an alias
of the LW file into the printer folder. Presumably the Chooser has been
rev'ed so that it knows how to resolve aliases?

I have code that uses PAP that has the same problem; I think we all worked
from the same MacTutor article (:-).
