Nick and Ben:

 

I hope some of this helps:

 

1.      I haven’t seen the “D:\Program” error in a long time.

2.      I installed Octave 3.7.2+ and Ghostscript v9.07 in paths with no white spaces.  Even though I don’t use it anymore, I never deleted Octave 3.6.4.  It still resides in a path with white spaces.  I certainly could delete it if you thought it was a problem.

3.      I thought I correctly added Ghostscript to the system path/environment variables per the setup instructions.

4.      When I type system (“gswin32c.exe”) I get a Ghostscript 9.07 header.

 

I’m cheered that my routines work on your systems.  I’d like it to work on mine.  J

 

Thanks again,

 

Rick

 

 

I'm not sure it will help resolve the problem, but please type EXEC_PATH at Octave's prompt and copy-n-paste the text it returns into you reply.

 

Also tell us if you've installed more than one version of Ghostscript and where they are.

Ben:

Using the diary command I captured the following in response to EXEC_PATH:

ans = D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\msys\bin;D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\libexec\octave\3.7.2+\site\exec\i686-pc-mingw32;D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\libexec\octave\api-v48+\site\exec\i686-pc-mingw32;D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\libexec\octave\site\exec\i686-pc-mingw32;D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\libexec\octave\3.7.2+\exec\i686-pc-mingw32;D:\Octave\Octave-3.7.2+\bin

Oh! ... I didn't know you were running a mingw version of Octave.  Are you using the MSYS shell or a DOS COMMAND shell?

 

If I recall correctly, the MSYS shell allows copy, cut, and paste.  Thus, my guess is you are using the DOS COMMAND shell.

 

Please try running Octave from the MSYS shell and let us know if the printing functionality improves.

Ben:

How do I do this?
