Ben,

You asked for:

[qss:octave] gs -v
GPL Ghostscript 8.71 (2010-02-10)
Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

octave:1> plot(1:10)
octave:2> print test.pdf -debug
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
---- begin /tmp/oct-q2Hi98.ps ----
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
<< /Margins [0 0] /.HWMargins [0 0 0 0] /PageOffset [18 180] >> setpagedevice
%EOF
----- end /tmp/oct-q2Hi98.ps -----
Ghostscript command: /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dEmbedAllFonts=true -dOptimize=true -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dFIXEDMEDIA -sOutputFile=test.pdf /tmp/oct-q2Hi98.ps /tmp/oct-qAirIj.eps
warning: print.m: ghostscript failed to convert output to file 'test.pdf'.
No such file or directory
warning: print.m: failed to delete temporay file, '/tmp/oct-qAirIj.eps'.

But, in /tmp are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 godfrey godfrey   97 Aug  6 15:03 /tmp/oct-q2Hi98.ps
-rw-rw-r-- 1 godfrey godfrey 6308 Aug  6 15:03 /tmp/oct-qAirIj.eps

And, if I run the gs command after exiting Octave, it runs and produces the intended test.pdf.
And, the file Aug  6 15:03 /tmp/oct-qAirIj.eps is still in /tmp.

And, in Octave, I tried:
octave:2> system('gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dEmbedAllFonts=true -dOptimize=true -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dFIXEDMEDIA -sOutputFile=test.pdf /tmp/oct-q2Hi98.ps /tmp/oct-qAirIj.eps')
ans = 0
And, the expected test.pdf was created.

So, I do not know what has gone wrong.  Remember also that print('test.pdf') works fine.

Anything more I can provide?

Michael
