I get around this problem in one of the following ways.
I use pdflatex with the
\usepackage{color,graphicx,hyperref}
option.
This does not allow the use of postscript files, but it does allow png
and pdf files. They can easily be resized using the figure environment.
To convert formats, say from eps or ps to png or pdf I use
ImageMagick. This is free and available for Windows, Unix (and
probably Mac).
To see how some maxima plots can be included in e.g. latex slides,
check out the following link
All of the pictures on slides 42-55 were made from maxima plots.

For instance, the slide on page 42 consists (using some additions to the Beamer macros)
of the page
\begin{frame}
Geometric Verification of the \RED{return matrix $A$}
\begin{figure}
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=2.0in,height=2.0in]{14_matrix_2.png}}
\hspace{0.2in}
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=2.0in,height=2.0in]{R1a_im.png}}
\caption{2nd image of rectangle R1,\ \ \
\BLUE{$1 \rightarrow 1,2,3,4,5,6,11,12$}}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
This has two 'png' files which were produced from maxima and ImageMagick
In case anyone is interested in more of this kind of thing, just send
me some email off the maxima list.
