Does /bin/sh exists? 2. Did you put an extra line at the end of the script? 3. does "pr -o 5 <filename> | lpr" work? 4. Is your path set up right? Do you need to run ./script instead of just script etc.
Claerly your problem has to do with some misunderstanding of paths etc. /-------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
