Maybe we don't need to follow them slavishly?  The documentation from
Matlab is here:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/print.html. 
There is a printopts.m file which is configurable to set the default
print engine so at least there is a way to get around specifying
'-color' for every single saved plot.

Also, for consistency we should probably generate black and white
postscripts when printing.  I just did a test and printed an image with
no arguments.  My printer wasn't plugged in so I could take a look at
the generated file in the printer spool.  It is a color file apparently
generated with '-dpsc2'
