I think you might want to double check your test setup.  This error
message is exactly what you'd get if you are running printf from a
recent release of GNU coreutils, rather than the /usr/bin/printf
that comes with Solaris.

I don't have a Solaris 10 box handy for testing right now but neither
Solaris 8 /usr/bin/printf nor heirloom-tools printf (which is ported
from OpenSolaris, contemporaneous with Solaris 10) print this error
message, and neither exit with status 1.
