Just curious, what are Altiris Rip files?

NVM guys I ended up going ahead and just doing it with 2 Altiris Rip
Files and adding them to the Desktop folder of the profile.  Took me 5
hours but works a champ.

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.
