cannot export the plot to eps file

[Kamaraju S Kusumanchi]

I am able to plot the graphs interactively but cannot export the result to
an eps file. Is this a bug in octave or am I doing something stupid? Is
there any work around for this problem? 

The original problem is a bit complicated and big. I am able to reduce the
problem to the small test case below.

$cat using_subplot.m
x=[1:0.1:2];
y = x.^2;
legend('off');
xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');
title('title of the figure');
subplot(1,2,1);
semilogy(x);
subplot(1,2,2);
semilogy(y);
print("test.eps", "-color");

When I run the script, I am getting

$octave -q using_subplot.m

gnuplot> set terminal push;
                      ^
         line 0: You can't change the terminal in multiplot mode


gnuplot> set terminal postscript eps enhanced color solid ;
                      ^

                   ^
         line 0: you can't change the output in multiplot mode
