Details:


When using
print -dps
in windows, the resulting postscript file is displayed as empty 
page.
The reason for that is prbably the change from device pswrite to ps2write,
which seems to be malfunctioned in version 9.07, the
version of gs bundled with mxe-octave.

There are (at least) two solutions:

1. Change the default device again from ps2write to pswrite (only if ispc
()).
2. Bundle a newer version of ghostscript with mxe-octave.

option 2 will also solve bug 44185
