Good afternoon.
I'm rather new to bash scripting, and have probably bitten off a bit more than I can chew to be honest, but I work in a service desk-like environment where one of the main complaints is that it takes our staff a long time to set up network printers on our clients' servers. Being the only one who has dabbled in bash scripting previously, I have been given a task to make a script that will automate the creation of a number of entries in CUPS depending on a number of variables (in this case, manufacturer of printer, make of printer and how many printer trays will be installed). I've created a version that works for one make and model of printer, which works without issue.. The issue is where I've tried to give the users a "menu" of which models, manufacturers etc they can choose from.
Here is an initial snippet of the script, which is where I require the most help.. The end goal of this is to have three sections like this, one for each printer manufacturer, where the exact make and number of trays is chosen by the user - this will have the script choose which drivers etc to install.
My syntax might be horrid, and my tabulation maybe moreso, however please bear with me!

When running this, I'm getting a syntax error on line 181 (esac). Have I just messed up on my syntax, or is there something else amiss here?
Many thanks!
