Can I split a printout into odd- and even-numbered pages?

When printing documents set in (say) LaTeX, I think it would be useful to have
an option that allows you to print the odd-numbered pages as a set followed by
the even-numbered pages. If you have direct access to the printer and can
re-feed the paper appropriately, you have a pseudo double-side printer.

Is such an option available now? Or else, has anyone hacked up something that 
could do this?

Thanks,
Ravi
