I am using all .eps figures in a phd dissertation without problem.
However, rather than printing to file I either (where possible) "save
as" .eps or else "export" as .eps.  I also use paint shop pro 7 as
required for any major cropping work etc.

My steps are: 
(i)Once inserted into a float I set "latex size" using the custom option
on the graphics form to the width I require, e.g. 10 cm and check "keep
aspect ratio".  
(ii)For the "lyx view" I select "get Latex Size". Apply and close.
(iii)Then align the inserted image with Layout-paragraph-Centre.

This is working very well for me.
Hope that helps
