A Python script can juggle the Comic Book options on and off, but it's not too useful since it takes artistic judgement to set the dials, in combined interaction with the lighting. Plus you have to get the lighting itself done right, and then there is no way for a script to control some things like Preview Shadow Maps Size. So basically you can't automate that creative part of the setup for the users. And without that they're going to just automate the output of crap.
The others are Firefly, which again can be done by a script but it needs to be done right or the renders are going to take a long time to render compared to the fast realtime Comic Book. Getting it really fast, at the size of render you want for the frames of a print comic, assumes the user has a certain type of computer. And then it's not just a matter of setting the switches you've circled, but you also need to know and set all the scene.CurrentFireFlyOptions control commands. There is a standard script which ships with Poser which gives access to these though, in Partners / D3D / Render Firefly, which should give you some pointers.
