Re: cs-list errors and Ghostscript warning when trying to print

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I'm not a specialist for printing.
Ben Abbott will help.

BTW, the source 3.3.54 is old. Please use the latest snapshot at 
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/ 
print.m function is revised from 3.3.54.

Regards

Tatsuro
