These errors are just some shell tricks you didn't get quite right.
The shell is very powerful, but isn't wholly intuitive to a
non-programmer. (if you have a bunch of time to waste sometime, try
reading 'man bash' :-))
To keep it simple, simply run "lpr", but instead of closing the
terminal window, type some data and press ^D.
HTH,
