That shouldn't happen, neither in interactive nor in scripted mode. And
doesn't for me, at least with gp5.2pl4. I used "plot x" instead of your
data file "xxxx", but that really shouldn't make a difference

dvi output looks like expected. I'm not sure how it could be made to
work with pdflatex, the help says I need a "printer driver", whatever
that means. With pdflatex, you get tic labels, key labels, but no axes
or an actual graph.

I've got a suspicion that eepic is sort of outdated. Try cairolatex?
