Wouldn't it be easier to create two queues pointing to the same printer but with different settings, and then push them out with an (vbs) loginscript? A duplexing queue should preferrably be the default one. I did this before, but removed all those separate single and duplex queues and instead setup the printers to use duplexing by default. So far, the users have not reacted, and it's on the third or fourth year this little scheme of mine. 8-) _____ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://ThinHelp.com Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 4:10 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Is it possible to change just the printer properties with a shortcut? Does anyone know of a utility or can suggest a good way that I can create a shortcut that changes a property on a printer and then change it back? I was thinking of maybe doing it in an Altiris rip file but there has to be an easier way. The idea I have and what I want to do is be able to create 2 shortcuts on a users desktop to create a quick way to change from single sided to double sided printing without having to click a dozen times to find it in printer properties. One to turn on double sided printing for the printer and a second one that resets the printer back to single sided printing. Anyone tried this? I know I could probably do it with a reg file but we do not allow our users access to running regedit.
