Sendkeys not working on the system Print window

after bring up the windows system print window on webpage by using powershell script , manually press enter key, print xps default printer. however, it will not print after use sendkeys:

 $wshell = new-object -com wscript.shell
 $wshell.sendkeys("{enter}")

or use

[void] [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("'system.windows.forms")
[system.windows.forms.sendkeys]::sendwait("{enter}")

 but all work after using $ie.execwb(6, 2) bring window up.

any idea why? thanks

i have no idea, then. have few desktop shortcuts vbscripts use manage making changes detailed property dialogs, activate them shortcut key, , find works well.

i tend not use "{enter}", see no reason cause problem. try sending space character instead, has same effect clicking on button has focus.

here's thought: possible default button highlighted if has focus when control has focus. 1 example of run dialog. of course, have said hitting actual enter key has desired effect. wonder if there in sendkeys causes "{enter}" behave in small way differently actual enter key.
