I have no clue where I would put that code - too cryptic for me! Nowhere in my version of a print set up, based on the printer widget, do I see a place for me to specify a different output URL name. You must be going about it the other way. I thought about switching to purely printTask and printParameters, but I could find no examples of this and I'm SO CLOSE to getting this other to work. Or so I thought.
//functions for printing
function openPrint () {
clearTextInput('txtTitle');
var fp = dijit.byId('floater_print');
if ((fp.style =="visibility: hidden;") || (fp.style="VISIBILITY:hidden;")) {
fp.style.visibility="visible";
fp.show();
}
}

The print tool is in a floating pane opened by a button.
