I know nothing of 'tryitout', neither does the script (~/.fmenu) :)
That is why fprint fails.
Edit ~/bin/tryitout so it contains:-
#!/bin/bash
# ~/bin/tryitout
mv ~/.fluxbox/menu{,-$(date +%Y%m%d-%R)}
mmaker fluxbox -f
printf "\t[submenu] \(My
Menu\)\n\t[include]\(~/.fluxbox/usermenu\)\n\t[end]\n\t[separator]
