this is what the gnuplot help page says ... octave uses gnuplot for
all plotting, so it's probably best if you take a look at a gnuplot
manual or say 'help' after invoking gnuplot from the command line...
all gnuplot commands should be available at the octave prompt.
Have a nice weekend,

Several options may be set in the `postscript` driver.
Syntax:
set terminal postscript {<mode>} {color | monochrome}
{solid | dashed} {<duplexing>}
{enhanced | noenhanced}
{"<fontname>"} {<fontsize>}
where <mode> is `landscape`, `portrait`, `eps` or `default`
`solid` draws all plots with solid lines, overriding any dashed patterns;
<duplexing> is `defaultplex`, `simplex` or `duplex` ("duplexing" in
PostScript is the ability of the printer to print on both sides of the same
page---don't set this if your printer can't do it);
`enhanced` activates the "Enhanced PostScript" features (subscripts,
superscripts and mixed fonts);
`"<fontname>"` is the name of a valid PostScript font; and `<fontsize>` is
the size of the font in PostScript points.
`default` mode sets all options to their defaults: `landscape`, `monochrome`,
`dashed`, `defaultplex`, `noenhanced`, "Helvetica" and 14pt.
Default size of a PostScript plot is 10 inches wide and 7 inches high.
`eps` mode generates EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) output, which is just
regular PostScript with some additional lines that allow the file to be
imported into a variety of other applications. (The added lines are
PostScript comment lines, so the file may still be printed by itself.) To
get EPS output, use the `eps` mode and make only one plot per file. In `eps`
mode the whole plot, including the fonts, is reduced to half of the default
size.
Examples:
set terminal postscript default # old postscript
set terminal postscript enhanced # old enhpost
set terminal postscript landscape 22 # old psbig
set terminal postscript eps 14 # old epsf1
set terminal postscript eps 22 # old epsf2
set size 0.7,1.4; set term post portrait color "Times-Roman" 14
