Symptoms

When running PS/nVision reports via the Web and selecting:

• Output Type as Printer
• Output Format as XLS
• Output Destination as a UNC Printer path such as \\printservername\printername

 the nVision reports hangs in 'Processing' status. The nVision trace file (psnvs_pid.nvt) shows the last two lines to be:

[05/09/12 22:41:23]  SPRTASK::FileSave
[05/09/12 22:41:23] Actual Printer Name: \\printservername\printername

and stops logging.

Other reports (SQR and Crystal) can print to this UNC printer path without any problems.

Note: The above issue occurs when the Identity tab for Excel Applications is set to "Launching User" or " This User". If the Identity tab for Excel Applications in DCOMCNFG is set to "The Interactive User", then it works fine.
