Hi @Ameya_Ghorpade,

What about using the Type Into activity, as bellow?

sol

ā€œdā€ is for saying to press down the key mentioned within the brackets

If it is a webpage, try inserting JavaScript to the webpage with the following code.

   window.print();
}

@Ameya_Ghorpade,

For VB, you could try SendKeys ā€œ^{P}ā€
Refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/sendkeys-statement

For C#, you could try SendKeys.Send(ā€œ^{P}ā€);
Refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send?view=net-5.0

Best regards,
Marius

@Ameya_Ghorpade

give a try on send hot key:
grafik

it is important to use small case p. Using upper case P would result to following: CTRL+SHIFT+ā€œpā€

You should add the script as a function. I assumed you knew it. Check the updated answer.
