I have a program, segment included below, that partially works. The first 'runcommand' example works, but the 2nd doesn't?

If I type the lp command line, it prints perfectly..

 if RunCommand('unix2dos', ['-n', '-f', '/mbs/mbs/file/cust.f','/mbs/mbs/file/cust.frm'],s) then
 writeln(s);
  if RunCommand('/bin/lp', ['-d', ' printer1','-o=raw' ,'/mbs/mbs/file/cust.frm'], s) then
  writeln(s);
  errormsg.text := 'We are done with runcommand now s= '+ s;

Fedora 37, Lazarus 2.2.4 FPC 3.2.2 X64 Linux gtk2

Are you sure that lp is in /bin directory ?
Try lp instead of /bin/lp (if cmd lp works)

perhaps "which lp" will give you the proper path?
also "whereis lp" may point you to more than one... my bet is on "which lp"... on my system, it returns /usr/bin/lp ;)
