That line cannot give a "sh: /dev/ttya3: cannot execute" error.  I
venture a guess that if you were to surround that with:

    mesgbox "About to execute PRINTER FILE"
    printer file "/dev/ttya3"
    mesgbox "After PRINTER FILE"

you will either get the error prior to getting the first message
box, or after the second.
