Details:

The following code doesn't produce any file with Octave 5.0.91:

plot ([0 1]);
print -deps test.eps


With Octave 4.4.1 this was working.

Stripping the "quiet" commands from the pipeline produced in print, I see the
following:

>> plot([0 1]);
>> tmpfile = [tempname() ".eps"];
>> pipeline2 = [OCTAVE_HOME '\bin\gs.exe -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -sDEVICE=eps2write -sOutputFile="' tmpfile '" - '
tmpfile ' & '
 OCTAVE_HOME '\bin\epstool.exe --copy --bbox ' tmpfile ' ''test.eps'''];
>> drawnow ('eps', ['|' pipeline2]);

In Octave 4.4.1 the pipeline sent to drawnow was different:

C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.1\bin\gs.exe -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -sDEVIC
E=eps2write -sOutputFile=""test.eps"" -


Maybe related to bug #48689.
