Closing report as it is not sufficiently detailed to be reproduced and no further info was provided by the OP after a month.

Trying the script

With Octave 4.2.1 on Win-10 machine, with qt graphic toolkit, and did not see any problem.

Do you get error on this script?
Can you give some details: What OS, which version of Octave, which graphics toolkit?

I can generate a figure exactly as I want on the screen. When I issue the print command the figure goes blank and I get the following messages to the screen.

warning: gl2ps_renderer::draw_axes: empty feedback buffer and/or nothing else to print
warning: called from
_opengl_print_ at line 169 column 7

Sorry don't know how to produce this error with a small code snippet but the offending commands are:

If I comment out the set command it works as expected. Unfortunately it doesn't produce the image I need.

I've seen many bug reports that seem to reference a similar problem, but I haven't been able to figure out the fix. Apologies as I'm a high level user so get lost when asked to compile bug patches.

Thanks!
