You can't, because is does not exist: it isn't a PostScript printer. 

What leads you to conclude that you need this file?

Thanks for replay 

From technical sheet of the printer: 
Supported printer languages: Epson ESC/P2, Epson Remote, IBM X24E emulation, and Optional Adobe PostScript Software. 

Also, asked Epson Technical Support (Argentina)by mail, answered PostScript language is supported for the 980 printer.

Ok, did you buy the option for PostScript, which is called the EPSON
STYLUS RIP
(http://www.epson.com.ar/Asp/MuestraProducto.asp?idProducto=C842621)
and install the drivers that came with the option?  This option, by
the way, costs more than the printer.

If you did, the PPD file should already be on your system. Search for
*.PPD files.

Dirk,

The printer manufacturer is solely responsible for producing PPD files
for their devices. You must ask Epson (if you really, really think you
need one). 

FWIW, the 980 is not a Postscript device, but does use a software rip
to translate the postscript file to Epson's internal language for the
inkjet - see
