There could be many reasons why your scripts do not work.
1. 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.
