Details:

Octave 5 and later are able to print directly to raster formats from OpenGL
with no calls to ghostscript necessary. However, Octave still prints the
warning message


>> plot (1:10); print foo.png
warning: print: Ghostscript binary is not available.  Only eps output is
possible
warning: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 498 column 7
    print at line 396 column 8


even though the PNG output is created successfully and ghostscript wasn't
needed at all.
