This isn't what you were looking for, exactly, but it may be the only
way to get there from here: write a front-end to, or replacement for,
DFHGMM (the CICS program that is invoked, via the CSGM transaction) that
uses the command interface (EXEC CICS SET command) to issue a SET
NODE(Pxxxxxxxx) ACQUIRE command. This will make CICS go get the printer
when the associated terminal logs on. You can get the terminal's node
name from the TCTTE, if you can't derive it from the CICS TERMID.

I don't think you can do this from USS processing. You might be able to
use an INTRPRET table to get there from here, but I'm not really
familiar with how that works.

Good luck...
