=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<gsl-mpr>
[ I<-options> ]
[ I<file> ... ]

B<gspl-mrpr>
[ I<-options> ]
[ I<file> ... ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<gsl-mpr> either queues up one or more print jobs for the B<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 B<GNUspool> spooler process spshed(8) is running, the
jobs are queued as originally specified.

B<gspl-mrpr> queues up one or more print jobs to a remote queue running
the B<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.

=head1 OPTIONS

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

=head1 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.
