Fix double '-P' in print command to printer (bug #41957). * print.m: Expand documentation of latex and latexstandalone options. Change some of the documentation examples to use more useful, modern devices (jpg instead of HP DeskJet 550C). Use isempty to determine in there is a figure to print. Remove extra '-P' from print command going directly to printer.
