new print syntax does not work

Print command before used to be print -dpdf ...

Now it takes arguments in paranthesis print('-dpdf')

The new sysntax does not work for me. Even when I use the print from Figure drop down menu, does not work.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

That is not a new syntax, MATLAB has supported function syntax for a very very long time:

What does "does not work" mean?

• Do you receive warning and/or error messages? If so the full and exact text of those messages (all the text displayed in orange and/or red in the Command Window) may be useful in determining what's going on and how to avoid the warning and/or error.
• Does it do something different than what you expected? If so, what did it do and what did you expect it to do?
• Did MATLAB crash? If so please send the crash log file (with a description of what you were running or doing in MATLAB when the crash occured) to Technical Support using the telephone icon in the upper-right corner of this page so we can investigate.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to simply print a figure. I cannot even save as jpeg. Here is the error:

Error using printopt

Too many input arguments.

Let's make sure you're using the correct version of the printopt function. What does this command display?

which -all printopt

Looking in printopt ... I seem to remember an Answers post recently where someone was having trouble calling the system_dependent function though I can't find that post now at a quick search. Was that you? If so that problem may be related to the failure in printopt, since printopt can call system_dependent on Windows.
