printing

[SA]

Is there a built in "print" function for graphs or should i be using 
something like
  ------------------------------
>cat oprint.m
function oprint(filename,device)
if(nargin==0)
        filename="|lpr";
        disp("Using |lpr (standard printer)");
        end
if(nargin<2)
        device="postscript"
        disp("Using postscript");
        end
%% for X11

%% set output to be the print or postscript file
        gset("term",device);
        cmd=sprintf("\"%s\"",filename);
        gset("output",cmd);
        replot
        gset term X11
        gset output
  ---------------------------------------
Is there an easy way to capture setting like "term" to a variable,
I find that temp=show("term"); doesn't work


Thanks matt
