Hello list,

I wondered if it is possible to force print.m to use ghostscript for
printing to pdf even if gnuplot provides a pdfcairo terminal?

I ask because the last available gnuplot for win32 does not include the
patch which fixes the spurious-pages-in-pdf-output bug.
So a command as
  plot(0:0.1:10, sin(0:0.1:10), "@-"); print -dpdf test.pdf
produces a three-page pdf.

I don't know when there will be a new gnuplot release or snapshot
release but the do not happen very frequently.

Did you submit a bug report to the gnuplot development site, Benjamin?  The 
most active developer on gnuplot is very knowledgable in this subject and might 
be able to give a date when a fix is available.  He's more of a unix person, 
but I think he'd know how to deal with Windows and pdfcairo.

Dan
