Details:

The "-append" flag does not seem to work correctly when printing:


>> h = figure;plot(rand(5));
>> file = [tempname '.ps'];
>> print(h,file,'-dpsc2','-append')
>> print(h,file,'-dpsc2','-append')
error: copyfile: no files to move
error: called from
    copyfile at line 85 column 5
    print at line 349 column 5
>> print(h,file,'-dpsc2','-append')


With Matlab, the output would be a file with two identical pages. The behavior
is that the file is created if it does not exist and a new page is added to
the existing file otherwise.
