I do not believe that encapsulated PostScript files can be printed directly,
they have to be printed as part of a document. You might want to create a TEX
(or some other) document that uses your encapsulated PostScript file as a
figure. Then print the PostScript file that TEX produces. This would solve
your positioning problem as well.
