Try this, which has worked for me in making PressReady drive the 875DC from an 870 driver, modified as I would expect for the 1270->1290 change. Work on a copy of your files.
1) Start with a PressReady installation for the 1270.
2) Make a copy of the Chooser-level driver; in my case I copied the driver named "PR Epson 1270 (U)" and renamed the copy "PR Epson 1290 (U)". If you're not using the USB driver, make the analogous changes on the driver you're using.
3) Using a resource editor, I changed all of the following references to the 870 in it:
a) PAPA -1892: Change name to "PR Epson 1290"
b) STR -4081: "Stylus Photo 1290"
c) STR -4098: "Devices:device-tree:PRINTER:Stylus Photo 1290"
d) STR -8140: "PR EPSON 1290 (U)"
e) STR -8185: "PR EPSON 1290 (U) Prefs"
f) TEXT -8165: Make the following changes at the beginning of the resource:
*Product: "(Stylus Photo 1290)"
*ModelName: "EPSON 1290 (PressReady)"
*ShortNickName: "EPSON 1290 (PressReady)"
*NickName: "EPSON Stylus Photo 1290 (PressReady)"
4) Make a copy of the printer description named "Epson 1270 (PressReady)" and rename it to "Epson 1290 (PressReady)".
5) Using a resource editor that will allow access to the data fork or a text editor that won't trash the resource fork on resaving, and make the following changes, all obvious and near the beginning of the file:
*Product: "(Stylus Photo 1290)"
*ModelName: "EPSON 1290 (PressReady)"
*ShortNickName: "EPSON 1290 (PressReady)"
*NickName: "EPSON Stylus Photo 1290 (PressReady)"
That's it. You should then be able to choose the printer via the "PR Epson 1290 (U)" driver in the Chooser, and create a desktop printer.

May require some ResEdit work on the driver to search for the right name...
