The problem is the Windows App you are generating the EPS file from is not
issuing an escape to the PostScript driver describing the bounding area.  In
this case the driver must assume the entire page is marked.  The comment you
are looking for is  %%BoundingBox.  change the coordinates on this line to
be what you want.  There really isn't much the driver can do if an app
doesn't give it the bounding box: The comment must be issued before any of the
graphics commands are received.

Hope this helps,
