can someone fix it thank you!

write("printer zijde kies uit "right" "left" "top" ENZ. - ")

Fix this line. You cannot have " inside strings like that.
You can use:

write('printer zijde kies uit "right" "left" "top" ENZ. - ')

instead.

This is rather basic for Lua. You may want to take some time to look over the basics in The Manual.

i still get the same error when i fix that line, i got now

write('printer zijde kies uit right left top ENZ. - ')

Again I suggest you look over the basics of Lua. You have a single 'else' statement with no If-Then to go with it.

the "=" expected error means that you have a reference sitting off by itself, not doing anything, somewhere near the error line. In this case, it's term.clear, because you didn't call it, you just referenced it. But that's probably not the only error in your code.
