MATLAB: XLabel lowered but a bit out of the eps printed file

figureposition;xlabel

Dear all,
I lowered the XLabel position of a figure by doing
xlabh = get(gca,'XLabel');
set(xlabh,'Position',get(xlabh,'Position') - [0 0.075 0])
The problem is that when I then print the file with
print -painters -despc -r600 ../folder/title.eps
the XLabel is indeed lowered but since the size of the picture does not adapt to this new position, the XLabel is cut. Is there any way to say to Matlab to expand the printing area so that I have a full lowered XLabel?
Thanks a lots,

The figure's PaperPosition and PaperUnits control this.
Have you tried export_fig? Ranked number one for a good reason :)
