You might want to try printing directly to a postscript printer, if
you can.  That way you could tell whether the problem is Mupad
producing bad postscript, or whether Ghostscript is getting the
error due to bugs in Ghostscript itself.

This is an EPS file, and as such it is expected to be included in
some other postscript file.  It might be that the encapsulation
(the 'E' in 'EPS') is doing something which confuses Ghostscript.

I realize this does not really help you with your problem, but it is
about the most that I could think to suggest.
