can't save figures -- Reference to non-existent field 'UseOriginalHGPrinting'

Hi, I cannot save figures using saveas, print or manually in GUI. The error returned is :

Error using ==> print at 339 Reference to non-existent field 'UseOriginalHGPrinting'

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

What version of MATLAB are you using? When I edit print.m in 2007b, I don't see that 'UseOriginalHGPrinting' field.

Hi Fangjun,

Thanks for your reply.

The version of mine is 2009b.

I also have this problem for 2010a.

It appears to be a private routine in MATLAB 7.1.3 (Release 14, SP3), but no longer shipped; look for toolbox/matlab/graphics/private/useOriginalHGPrinting.p

I would suspect that your installation is not clean.

The name does sound familiar to me, but I don't know why.

[yuwei2341]

that's right. I can find both useOriginalHGPrinting.p and useOriginalHGPrinting.m in the folder.

I'll try completely uninstall and install again.

Thanks Walter.
