Hello
This post is out of the scope of the discussions but I have an interest into the gl2ps.

Can I use gl2ps functionality from the octave command prompt on the current development source ?
I'm not sure what you mean by "gl2ps functionality". The way it's implemented today, you have to plot something in the fltk backend (e.g. you need the fltk figure window to be open on the desktop), and then, issuing the command
print("-desp","test.eps")
will use gl2ps to produce an eps file.
