You know, there are some people on this list who wouldn't be bored by those
details at all, but approach these kinds of workflow issues as if they were
puzzles.
Anyway, here's a couple things to try.
-------
activate application "Firefox"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Firefox"
click button "Cancel" of window "Print"
delay 2
keystroke "." using command down
--or
click button "Cancel" of UI element 5 of window "Print"
tell menu bar 1
click menu item "Page Setup..." of menu 1 of menu bar item
"File"
end tell
end tell
end tell
---------
UI Scripting can be very tricky. You're basically piggybacking onto another
technology and the UI elements are not always available in the way one would
expect. I used "UI Browser" to figure this one out.
Using command period keystroke also works.
