Have you tried:

\usepackage{graphicx}  % in preamble

  \includegraphics[scale=.5]{....}
or
  \includegraphics[viewport=<coords>,clip]{....}
or
  \includegraphics[trim=<coords>,clip]{....}

to either scale down the size of the included graphic,
or to choose just some area inside it.

Consult the book The LaTeX Graphics Companion,
or graphicx.dtx for documentation on options to \includegraphics 
beyond what is available in the usual  graphics  package.

You must print to EPS ; it's no good just printing to a PostScript file.
Also, check the font inclusion: "All but standard 13" should be OK.


Hope this helps,
