Hi David,

I use something like:


function plot2ps(f)
  ## use a fixed width font
  gset terminal postscript landscape enhanced "Courier" 12;
  the_title=strcat("File: ",f)
  title(the_title)
  eval(sprintf("gset output \"%s%s\" \n",f,".ps"));
  replot;
  gset terminal X11;
  printf("\n Wrote %s/%s%s\n\n",pwd,f,".ps");
endfunction

Where the "gset terminal...." line is what does the trick.  
I then print the postscript file.
The "gset terminal X11" line resets so that the next plot gets to the screen.
