It seems to work properly for me, using the following commands in
Octave 2.1.69:

  x = -10:0.1:10;
  plot (x, sin(x))
  gset term pslatex
  gset output "foo.tex"
  replot
  set term x11
  gset output "/dev/null"

What version of Octave are you using?  What OS?  Precisely what
commands did you use to generate the plot?  etc. etc.

If you think you've found a bug in Octave, please submit a complete
bug report to the address@hidden list.  If you're not sure what to
include in your report so that someone might be able to fix the
problem, then please read http://www.octave.org/bugs.html before
submitting your report.

Someone will need to submit a patch that adds support for (e)pslatex
output.
