Konica Minolta pagepro 1350W: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Konica Minolta pagepro 1350W right for you?

The pagepro 1350W was a cheap USB mono laser from Konica Minolta's early-2000s home-office range, with separate drum and toner cartridges. It is host-based and the last official driver targets Windows XP and Vista, so it is difficult to run on Windows 11 without tricks; the open-source foo2zjs driver keeps it alive on Linux and Raspberry Pi print servers. Mechanically they are durable but slow to warm up.

Best for: Hobbyists keeping an early-2000s mono laser running via a Linux print server

Setting up the Konica Minolta pagepro 1350W

Try Konica Minolta's archived pagepro 1350W Windows driver in compatibility mode; if it will not install on Windows 11, set up a Linux or Raspberry Pi print server with foo2zjs and share the printer over the network. USB is the only practical connection. Use separate drum and toner replacements rather than refills to avoid grey backgrounds.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the toner cartridge and drum unit, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Konica Minolta's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Konica Minolta pagepro 1350W uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• pagepro 1300-series toner 1710566-001 (3,000 pages)
• pagepro 1300-series drum 1710568-001 (20,000 pages)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
