The "encoding" part is not presently possible. If you can describe why you're 
using it, perhaps there is another way, or perhaps we can add what you need.

To generate a postscript output, first create your plot ...

    x = 0:0.01:5;
    plot (x, sin(x), x, cos(x))
    xlabel ("x axis")
    ylabel ("Amplitude")
    title ("Trig Functions")

Then the output is rendered by the print command

    print (gcf, "-dpsc", "output.ps")

or, alternatively,

    print -dpsc output.ps
