Hi;

printing is one of the few parts of octave that are not very matlba like.

currently, if u need to print, then u need to reset the gnuplot terminal
from X11 to postscript

octave:1> gshow terminal
octave:2>
        terminal type is x11
octave:2> gset terminal postscript
octave:3> gshow terminal
        terminal type is postscript landscape noenhanced monochrome dashed
defaultplex "Helvetica" 14
octave:4> replot

you can also set the terminal to other flavors of output, consul the
gnuplot maunal for specifics. The variety of plot types is one of the
advantages of gnuplot.

then you just reset the terminal back to x11.
