plot2d_ps is quite primitive. if what you want is a plot in postscript
format, a much better alternative is to use the default gnuplot
plotting package, and set options to cause the output to go to
a postscript file.
example:
plot2d (sin(x), [x, 0, 2*%pi], [gnuplot_term, ps], [gnuplot_out_file,
"sin.eps"])$
see plot2d and plot_options under "Plotting" at:

hope this helps,
