On my Domino.Server running Domino.Doc Microsoft Excel is installed. From the server I can open Excel documents, configure printer/header information and print.
When the domino.doc script tries to execute Excel through CreateObject the Excel application does not recognize any printers configured, then the app cannot set up header/footer information.
Any help? Please.

Do you run your domino server as service using Local System account ?
If yes this is maybe the problem. Try to run your domino service using an existing Windows account where the printers are defined.
Maybe it will work better that way !
Hope this helps.

The Domino Service is started with a Local Service account that has a printer configured and permissions are set up for Everyone to have access. The server is on a network.
What user (and privilege required) do you need to start the Lotus service with?
When I make my Excel application visible, the client call errors out and leaves the application open. There are indeed no printers available. But when I close the application and then open it again the printers are recognizable. What user is executing the application?
Thanks,
Dana

Sorry for the answering that late.
The “Localsystem” is a special user with a lot a restriction in windows environement. It’s there for “security” to avoid application having access to network ressources.
What you can do is at the server (the physical machine), logon as a user from the domain (a user you trust (or better a user that you create for that reason).
Thenprepare your environnement the way you want (printers, applications you need).
When you’ve done that, logoff and logon with a user with administrative rights.
Then open the services and for the domino service instead of running with the local system user, run it with the user you just prepared the environnement.
As far as I know, there is no special rights needed for the service account that runs a domino server .
