You've gotten 17 ifs in your code snippet but 11 fis only, so I guess there sth. wrong with those. Taking a closer look, the if [ "$response" != "yes" ] seems to be missing one, but, more related to the syntax error that you quote, every if [ "$option-oki"...] has an unterminated if - elif - elif construct in it, which will bother bash if it reaches the esac statement. Pls correct and come back with the result.
BTW, did you consider bash's select statement to offer and read a selection? And, I'd prefer to put the respective options every printer offers into an option file that you can print out for selection and that you can easily adapt should a new printer model come in. Plus, why don't you collect e.g. all three-tray-printers into one single question (option_OKI between 1 and 6 -> ask for tray) and generate the printer driver name from the few variables read in answer?

NAME
latd.conf - LAT configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/latd.conf
DESCRIPTION
/etc/latd.conf is a shell script (run by /bin/sh) that is run when latd is started up using the latcp -s command.
It contains commands used to customise lat for your site and usually consists of a list of latcp commands.
latd.conf is run with a minimal PATH and a minimal environment. The variable $LATCP points to the latcp binary used to invoke the script.
EXAMPLE
# /etc/latd.conf
# This is a sample configuration file for latd
# it is run as s shell script from latcp -s with a minimal
# environment and PATH. latcp should be invoked using the
# environment variable $LATCP.
#
# You can fiddle with all the latd parameters you like in here,
# the first service announcement will not be made until this
# script completes.
#
# Set the multicast timeout to 30 seconds
$LATCP -m 30
# Add another login service
$LATCP -A -a ZAPHOD -r 100
# Add a queued reverse LAT service to a printer on a DECserver
$LATCP -A -p /dev/lat/printer -Hdecserver -Vdecserver -Q
# Only advertise our service in groups 1-10 and 200
$LATCP -G 1-10,200
