You could use ls to see if they exist --

$ ls -l /usr/bin/printf /bin/mail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 84856 Jan  7  2007 /bin/mail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31496 Jan 21  2009 /usr/bin/printf

You could query your package system to verify if it's been installed. How to do so depends on your distribution. Under Redhat and clones it's --

[mpowell at noctools ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/printf
coreutils-5.97-19.el5

[mpowell at noctools ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /bin/mail
mailx-8.1.1-44.2.2

[mpowell at noctools ~]$ rpm -qa | egrep 'coreutils|mailx'
coreutils-5.97-19.el5
mailx-8.1.1-44.2.2
