You need to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path first, then it will be able 
to find xinit, among other things (like startx, for example).

This sounds almost like your version of xinit was corrupted, i.e. as if 
the shell were trying to interpret it as a shell command file, rather 
than as a binary file.  Perhaps some other method of copying the data in 
will work?

Definitely add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path, this might fix it if 
corruption isn't the problem.

Make sure you do the ldconfig trick, not the LD_LIBRARY_PATH trick, which 
seems to be having some trouble at the moment.

I don't know much about the printing thing.

I hope this helps.

Later.
