# NAME

gsl-mpr - print spooler or save if not running

gspl-mrpr - print spooler to remote queue or save if unavailable

# SYNOPSIS

gsl-mpr [ -options ] [ file ... ]

gspl-mrpr [ -options ] [ file ... ]

# DESCRIPTION

gsl-mpr either queues up one or more print jobs for the GNUspool spooler using gspl-pr(1) if it is running, or else places a series of files in an alternative spool directory, such that when run as shell scripts when the GNUspool spooler process `spshed(8)` is running, the jobs are queued as originally specified.

gspl-mrpr queues up one or more print jobs to a remote queue running the GNUspool spooler using gspl-rpr(1) if it is available, or otherwise places a series of files in an alternative spool directory for queueing when the remote machine is available.

# OPTIONS

Options are as per gspl-pr and gspl-rpr. If the job can be queued immediately, these programs are directly invoked.

# EXIT CODES

An exit code of zero is returned if the job or jobs are successfully queued using gspl-pr(1) or gspl-rpr(1) or successfully saved in the alternate directory. Any non-zero exit code from gspl-pr(1) or gspl-rpr(1) will be passed back to the user. Standard exit codes and error messages are displayed if the files cannot be opened or saved.
