This worked for me as well. However, I need the capability to plot multiple 
lines with legend that allows the lines to be identified also when printed on 
black and white. Before the recent printing changes this was the default 
behavior. It was implemented by enumerating the different linestyles available 
with gnuplot for the plotted lines. Would it be difficult to have this back, 
maybe in the form of using a different gnuplot linestyle for each dashed line 
of different color, i.e. mapping the color number (if such exists) to linestyle 
number (2 and above) for lines with Octave linestyle '--'?

On screen the different colors obviously work better, but I need the above for 
eps plots.
