Why am I unable to print to a postscript file using a TIFF preview in MATLAB on a PC?

I try to print my figure using the following code:

figure

plot(1:10)

print -deps -tiff myfig.eps

After executing the above commands, the MATLAB command prompt is returned, but myfig.eps was not created.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This problem is seen when trying to print to EPS-files with a TIFF preview from a UNC path. The DOS command is called from within PRINT when a TIFF preview is specified. The DOS command cannot be executed from a UNC path.

This problem has been reported to our development staff for further investigation.

As a workaround, please map the UNC path or print from a local drive.
