Error when saving figure with linux command line

Receiving an error when I try and save a figure as a png. See traceback below. Calling matlab from a python script with -batch flag.

Error using validate (line 166)
Printing of uicontrols is not supported on this platform.

Error in print (line 67)
pj = validate( pj );

Error in saveas (line 181)
        print( h, name, ['-d' dev{i}] )

Error in NavErrPlotsLN25X (line 238)
    saveas(figH,fullfile(uutData.ftp(1).folder,figFileName),'png');

Error in NavErrPlotsProgramSwitch (line 42)
        statusLog = NavErrPlotsLN25X(uutData,config,statusLog);

Error in FTPReviewWeb (line 51)
    log = NavErrPlotsProgramSwitch(uutData,config,log);

In batch mode, Matlab does not support interactive GUI elements.

How do you save the figure as PNG? See: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/print.html#d123e1146812

print('-noui', ...)

In my use case, I need the buttons because their labels have critical information, but I don't need their functionality, of course. I am having the same issue as above when trying to save a figure in a Matlab executable. How can print with the UI?
