I may be missing something, but it looks to me like you are running a different
command from system() than what you are doing on the command line. That is, system()
apears to be getting this:
'/usr/bin/lp -dhp4si /tmp/plotreq.txt' > /tmp/plotid.txt
And the shell apears to be getting this:
/usr/bin/lp -dhp4si /tmp/plotreq.txt > /tmp/plotid.txt
When I need error checking, I'll often use open() instead of system().
