It depends.

You can ask for the active terminal with "gshow terminal", e.g.:

octave:2> 
        terminal type is x11 

Typical "screen terminals" are x11 or pm (OS/2-PM). But maybe you just want to 
restore the terminal that was used immediately before issuing the print 
command. I do not know if it is possible to parse the gshow output in octave.
