Once you have the plot you want on the screen, you can issue the
following commands:

  gset term postscript
  gset output "foo.ps"
  replot

return to plotting on the screen with

  gset term x11  # or whatever your terminal type really is

The first chapter of the manual includes an example like this.  It
should also be included (or cross-referenced) in the chapter on
plotting, but I don't think it is (yet).
