I've definitely formed the impression that it is a Ghostscript problem, I agree.

> Does this error occurs with any plot, you are trying to print?

Yes:

  octave:4> t=0:1:100;
  octave:5> y=sin(t*2*pi/100);
  octave:6> plot(t,y)
  octave:7> print(1,'test1.jpg')

I take from this that it's not an issue with what specifically I am trying to 
print.

> Did you try saveas as an alternative tp print?

Yes, I tried using saveas, it gives an identical message.

So this stuff definitely used to work for me without any difficulty. I have 
been using this script for many months now. Any clues as to what could have 
changed? My machine has gone through quite a stable period of late with not 
many changes to software etc, but clearly something has changed. Windows 7 64 
Bit, Octave 3.6.4 gcc 4.6.2.

I tried the -debug option, too:

   octave:14> print -djpg -debug test1.jpg
   Ghostscript command: 'C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\gs\bin/gswin32c.exe 
-dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=jpeg
    -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r150x150 -dEPSCrop 
-sOutputFile=test1.jpg -'
   fltk-pipeline: 'C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\gs\bin/gswin32c.exe -dQUIET 
-dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=jpeg -dTex
   tAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r150x150 -dEPSCrop 
-sOutputFile=test1.jpg -'

...but it means nothing to me.
