Suggestions as to why print isn't working now:
1. You over-wrote some MATLAB functions when you installed export_fig.
2. You deleted some MATLAB functions when you removed export fig.
3. You have not removed some export_fig functions which are interfering with print.
However, I would expect 1 & 2 to be fixed by a reinstall of MATLAB and I have never had a report about export_fig interfering with print, despite 10s of thousands of people using it.
As for export_fig not working, the dialogue box was created by the ghostscript.m file, and was asking where the Ghostscript executable was, not where itself was - unless it was undergoing some existential crisis I don't know about. You need to install the Ghostscript package separately, as explained in the export_fig help text.
