Printing electronic documents with automatically interleaved separation sheets

A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for printing an electronic document, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform:

• generating, based on an existing description of attributes of a printing device, a new description of the attributes of the printing device, wherein the new description includes information that describes an automatic interleaving option;
• generating a new driver program based on the new description;
• wherein the new driver program causes the printing device to obtain first page material from a first page source of the printing device;
• wherein the new driver program causes the printing device to obtain second page material from a second page source of the printing device;
• wherein the new driver program causes the printing device to print one or more pages of the electronic document on the first page material;
• and
• wherein the new driver program causes the printing device to automatically interleave the second page material with the pages as the pages are printed.

A system comprising:

• a computer configured to:
• automatically generate, based on an based on an existing description of attributes of a printer, a new description of the attributes of the printer, wherein the new description includes information that describes an automatic interleaving option;
• and
• automatically generate a new driver program based on the new description;
• and
• the printer, wherein the printer is configured to:
• obtain, in response to signals from the new driver program, first page material from a fist page source of the printer;
• obtain, in response to the signals, second page material from a second page source of the printer;
• print, in response to the signals, one or more pages of an electronic document on the first page material;
• and
• automatically interleave, in response to the signals, the second page material with the pages as the pages are printed.
