That empty line is part of the output? In that case the EPS file is not
really an EPS file because the header doesn't contain the required (for
EPS) BoundingBox DSC comment (quoting from the DSC specification):

    Because header comments are contiguous, any line that does not begin
    with %X where X is any printable character except space, tab, or
    newline implicitly denotes the end of the header section.

    %!PS-Adobe-3.0
    %%Title: (Example of Header Comment Termination)
    ...More header comments...
    %%DocumentResources: font Sonata
    %GBDNodeName: smith@atlas.com
    % This line implicitly denotes the end of the header section.
