I'm far from expert at this stuff, but I'd guess you need to specify a different device. Do
$ gs -h to see what is available on your machine. Then use Devices.htm (in the ghostscript docs) plus trial and error to find one that works. lj5mono works well with my lj1200 (which is, I think, a lot like your lj1300). I've used lj5gray successfully with a hp lj8150. There is a useful ghostscript manual at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/merz.htm.
