from pywinauto import Application

Application().start(r'mmc printmanagement.msc') # Warning! it spawns child process

# connect to that child process
app = Application(backend="uia").connect(path='mmc.exe')

# print main window with the title
print(app.windows())

app.PrintManagement.dump_tree() # print identifiers for further automation
