Details:

I hit a problem with saveas not accepting .tif format.
++
>> imagesc(rand(55));
>> saveas(gcf,'image','tif');
error: print: unknown device tif
error: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 265 column 5
    print at line 316 column 8
    saveas at line 105 column 3

The error message is kind of scary but it looks like print does not accept
tif... and the documentation confirms this is not listed as a supported
"device" type under "help print".

By chance I tried .tiff format and that worked great! A couple of requests
please :)

1) Can you document .tiff as a supported device for print.m.
2) Can you allow print.m to accept .tif as well as .tiff. (Note that jpg and
jpeg are both considered acceptable).
