As far as I'm aware, you need to set the terminal type and output  
before creating the plot:

g('set terminal postscript color enhanced "Helvetica" 18')
g('set output "'+filename+'"')
...
g('set multiplot')

and then make the plot as you normally would.  I close with

g("unset multiplot")
g.reset()
g('set terminal %s' % Gnuplot.GnuplotOpts.default_term)
g('set output')

though it isn't really necessary.

Gnuplot does not allow replotting (which is what hardcopy() does)  
when in multiplot mode, unfortunately (if this has changed in a very  
recent build, please let me know: I'm running 4.0).

If anyone else knows of a better method, I'd also be happy to hear of  
it.  Unfortunately, multiplot in Gnuplot can be a bit of a pain,  
particularly when trying to get several stacked plots to be the same  
size.

Good luck!
