From the situation I guess you are using fltk graphics_toolkit.
To save plot other than ps, you need to install ghostscript and 
PATH environmental variable is set properly.

(For to set PATH environmental variable, please use search engine e.g. Google)

Another option is to use gnuplot graphics_toolkit

octave> graphics_toolkit gnuplot

You can copy plot to clipboard by clipboard icon.

The merit and demerit exist for using gnuplot graphics_toolkit.

I cannot not say which toolkit is better.
I use both graphics toolkit as the situation demands.
