Using the 3.0.x series of Octave, I do not know how to change the size of the 
eps output.

For the 3.2.x series, the size of the output is specified by the figure 
property "paperposition", which is a 4 element vector. For eps output, running 
3.2.2/3, the first two elements of the vector do not effect the eps output. The 
2nd two define the width and height in inches. 

To obtain a 6x4 inch eps image

        set (gcf, "paperpositionsize", [0.5 0.5 6 4])
        print -depsc foo.eps
