Printer model numbers that end in "W" are often Winprinters, lacking the 
ability to print plain text.  There's more information on this printer 
and a PBM filter for it here:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Minolta-PagePro_1300W

So you'll have to set up Ghostscript to create PBMs, and then feed them 
to the PBM-to-Minolta filter, which then feeds them to the printer.
