How did you do the conversion? Did you try this by "export" from xfig
or did you manually call fig2dev?
I ask this, since I just found a upstream bug in xfig 3.2.5.c, that
doesn't seem to exist in 3.2.5.b, which has to do with locales.
The problem here is, that xfig calls fig2dev with parameter -m with a
factional value. With German LOCALE this faction is represented a
0,150000 instead of a 0.150000, which was expected by fig2dev in the
-m parameter.
I'm just preparing a patch and new upload to fix this.

As far as I can see, this is a consequence of the same problem. The
magnification of the EPS file is set to 0.0 which results in an
unprintable result.
Please try, whether setting LANG=C works as a workaround for your problem:
env LANG=C xfig
