A printing system includes a printer and at least one workstation
operatively connected to the printer. The work station comprises at least
one input/output device connecting the workstation to the printer, a
controller connected to the at least one input/output device, and a
memory connected to the controller. The workstation further includes an
operating system, a first application, a second application, and a print
driver, all residing on the memory. A first item of the first application
and a second item of the second application are both receivable by the
print driver. The print driver is selectively able to concatenate the
first and second items into a compound print set, able to receive a
selected number of copies to be printed of the compound print set entered
through the at least one input/output device and able to submit the
compound print set and the selected number of copies as a single print
job to the printer. Finishing attributes are able to be applied to the
compound print set for processing by the printer.
