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. >What I need is a way to issue two logon commands, when one USSTAB command is >entered. The printer's LU name can be obtained from its associated terminal's >LU name, by changing a "T" to a "P". 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.
