Sorry this is a wild guess, but the output you are getting suggests that
no default printer has been set up for your GNUstep environment and when
doing so, something goes wrong and this later stops the EPS output from
working.

You may claim now, that EPS output should not depend on a printer
setting and this could true. I would not be surprised to learn that in
the GNUstep printing environment this is after all the case.

Could you first try to sort out the printer problem and then try again?
