I use this function as a shortcut:

function print(filename)
#function print(filename)
#  
# Prints a plot to a given postscript-file filename

graw("set terminal postscript monochromeŠÜn");
output = sprintf("set output ŠÜ"%sŠÜ"ŠÜn", filename);
graw(output);
graw("replotŠÜn");
graw("set output ŠÜ"/dev/nullŠÜ"ŠÜn");
graw("set terminal x11ŠÜn");

endfunction

There's also a more matlab compatible print function in matcompat package
(maintained by Paul Kienzle), but I've found it to be a bit buggy.
