There is a .dvi of the manual "octave.dvi":

[dima at tumbleweed src]$ ls -l octave-2.1.64/doc/interpreter/octave.dvi
-rw-rw-r--  1 dima dima 1366336 Dec 15 17:07 
octave-2.1.64/doc/interpreter/octave.dvi

(It is included in the tarball)

(Thanks for that tip, Dmitri S. :-)

dvips should convert octave.dvi to a PS file.

HTH.
