UI Printing

I don't touch UI scripting with a 10 foot pole ... so, I got my 11 foot pole and tried this ...

tell application "System Events"
if not (UI elements enabled) then
try
set UI elements enabled to true -- asks for password
on error
display dialog "Cancelled"
return
end try
end if
tell process "Mail"
click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

I always get an error. It seems that "Print..." can't be done. It's just not there.
But, this works just fine, no errors:

click menu item "Close" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1

What's going wrong, here?
