This looks OK. And, here are my current results running the
test_printing script locally. The output is attached as test04.out.

I also tried :
octave:1> plot(1:200)
octave:2> title("hello")
octave:3> print("test04_latex.pdf", "-dpdflatex")
octave:4> print("test04_plain.pdf", "-dpdf")
octave:5> quit
==================
The resulting plots are attached.  These look OK to
me.  Are they what you expect?

I do not fully understand the remaining errors when running the test_printing
script.  They may in part be due to -append.  What should this do?

By the way, I have noticed that using the string "pdf" in a filename which
is to be used as input to some processors can lead to trouble.  I have not
isolated this exactly, but something seems to just scan for "pdf" instead of
testing the final suffix.  This may not be relevant here, but keep it in mind.
