...A new device 'eps2write' has been added which allows for the creation of
EPS files using the ps2write device instead of the old (deprecated and
removed) pswrite device. This produces considerably better quality EPS files
than the old epswrite device which is now also deprecated and will be removed
in a future release...

We have to update scripts/plot/util/print.m, __print_parse_opts__.m and
__ghostscript__.m

bug #42534 shows the error message when printing to ps from octave with gs
9.14:

>> plot(1:2,"o-");
>> print("testplot.ps","-debug")
...
-sOutputFile="testplot.ps" C:UsersHEDEROApp
DataLocalTempoct-2.ps - & rm C:UsersHEDEROAppDataLocalTempoct-2.ps'
Unknown device: pswrite
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:
    defaultdevice
