You've outline of a rather complicated method. How about:
cat <<EOF > /usr/local/bin/print-n-mail
#!/bin/bash
lpr \$@
mail -s \"\$@\" \$USER < \$@
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/print-n-mail
...or how doesn't this fit the bill?
I would in general avoid munging an existing utility which does one
thing to make it do two. Rather I'd write a new utility to combine the
two existing ones.
