You could script it with an AutoIT script, which just manipulates the
screen automatically for the user. I use it a lot around here for a
variety of things.

Subject: [THIN] 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.
