Win 64 - Cursor Positioning Challenge

Here's my challenge now. This script basically does a 'batch print' on a series of reports. My challenge is that the 'printer window' (standard windows 7 printer screen)  shows up in a slightly different position on different monitors, depending on the monitor size. One of the 'clicks' is to click OKAY on the 'printer window'. Any ideas how to determine the location of the OKAY button?

Have you tried just sending an Enter?

Send("{Enter}")

I would also suggest looking into the AutoIt Window Info Tool (located in the same directory where you installed AutoIt, or CTRL + F6 in SciTE). I can't recall what info, if any, you can get from the print window, but you may be able to get the control ID of the OK button and then do a ControlSend or ControlClick.

Already tried the Window info tool but the button does not have a 'useable' control name. I could not find anything to 'trap', so that is why I used corordinates and Mouseclick. I will try the 'Send Enter' to see if that works.
