Missing information in print docu

[Stefan Pofahl]

Hello John,

> What error do you see?
Here are the two commands:
octave-3.0.3.exe:16> line_hdl = plot(0);
octave-3.0.3.exe:17> print("e:\\foo.ps", '-landscape', '-dps');

Here is the output:
error: drawnow: nonexistent directory `e:'
error: evaluating if command near line 47, column 7
error: evaluating if command near line 45, column 5
error: called from `drawnow' in file
`C:\Programme\Octave\share\octave\3.0.3\m\plot\drawnow.m'
error: evaluating if command near line 412, column 3
error: called from `print' in file
`C:\Programme\Octave\share\octave\3.0.3\m\plot\print.m'
octave-3.0.3.exe:17>

Regards,

Stefan
