Customer is requesting "Job Build" tool.
meaning - he wants to print complex PDF files with a certain sequence of A4 than separator than A3 than A4 than again separator etc etc.
He owns a bunch of Canon ir-s and irc-s. Of course solution should not be crazy expensive.
Right now they are using a driver feature but they complain a lot because it is not professional and because a lot of errors and bugs.
Ideas ?
I would suggest you print the document to the Mailbox of the copier,
i.e, Set the 'Output Method' to 'Store' in Properties of the Print Dialogue box

Then print from the Mailbox and take advantage of options of the 'Additional Function' button.
Job Build function under Special Features on the copier, enables you to scan large-quantity originals by dividing them into multiple batches. The originals are then printed as one document after all the batches have been scanned. Job Build can also be used to scan documents which consist of several parts, each requiring different scan settings.

Kudo!
Thnx for the replies guys but (there is always a but) as I stated, they already use the printer driver (and mailbox) and it is not enough for them.
Customer is printing PDF files (A3 drawings with a lot of layers and GIS). A4 mixed with A3.
A typical file looks like this :
4 pages text and chart in A4
120 A3 drawings with some dividers
10 A4 pages
50 A3
etc
It is just printing. No scanning or sending involved. Originals are created by CAD or something similar.

Not a free solution, but eCopy PDF Pro Desktop can do this quite easily.
In its former lives it was known and eCopy Desktop and eCopy Paperworks.
The customer can download a fully functional 30 day trial copy of it from eCopy... errrrr, excuse me, "Nuance".
