Thanks for the followup, RTM. Sorry about the missing information. This problem is occurring on Solaris 8. Your response makes sense in that these files can vary in size.
Only one type of print is sent to the print queue in question. Typically, a large number of debit memos are sent to be printed at one time. The order is important to the people who process the debit memos. In an attempt to rectify, I have put a wait into the script between LP statements, hoping that the delay will allow the file to be processed and the order to be maintained. Seems to be working fine so far, but the sample size is small.

pilot-memos
pilot-memos(1) PILOT-LINK pilot-memos(1)
NAME
pilot-memos - Manipulate Memo entries from a file or your Palm device.
SECTION
pilot-link: Userland conduits
SYNOPSIS
pilot-memos [-p|--port <port>] [-q|--quiet] [--version] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-v|--verbose] [-d|--delete] [-f|--file file] [-s|--save
dir] [-c|--category STRING] [-r|--regex STRING]
DESCRIPTION
By default, the contents of your Palm's memo database will be written to standard output as a standard UNIX mailbox (mbox-format) file,
with each memo as a separate message. The subject of each message will be the category.
If '-s' is specified, then instead of being written to standard output, memos will be saved in subdirectories of dir. Each subdirectory
will be the name of a category on the Palm, and will contain the memos in that category. Each filename will be the first line (up to the
first 40 characters) of the memo. Control characters, slashes, and equal signs that would otherwise appear in filenames are converted after
the fashion of MIME's quoted-printable encoding. Note that if you have two memos in the same category whose first lines are identical, one
of them will be overwritten.
If '-f' is specified, the specified file will be treated as a memo database from which to read memos, rather than HotSyncing from the Palm.
OPTIONS
pilot-memos options
-V, --verbose
Verbose, with -s, print each filename when written to disk.
-d,
--delete NUMBER
Delete memo named by number num.
-f,
--file file.

-s,
--save dir.

-c,
--category cat.
Only create memos in this category.

Conduit Options
-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-memos will look for the $PILOTPORT environ-
ment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-memos will print the usage information.

--quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message

Display version of pilot-memos and exit without connecting.
