[Obed Sands]

Hello Ben,

specifying epsc as the target file type gives the same message.

eps output must not be working.

I did the manual install for windows, as described sourceforge/ Octave Forge (c.f. http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/)

Things seem to be working o.k. and Gnuplot seems to be in place as 

octave:1>plot(rand(40,3))

produces a good result but

octave:2>print -djpg 'lkj.jpg'

gives an error:

Any ideas will be appreciated,

That ghostscript is being called indicates that Octave thinks it has produced an eps-file.  Please verify that eps output is working for you.

    print -depsc test.eps

If that works, please tell us what Octave returns with the debug flag.

    print -djpg -debug test.jpg
