We're going to need a little more about how you have your webserver set up, what you're really trying to do, and how you expect your users to do it.

When I output an Excel version of reports that users run on my webapp, I just print it out to the browser with the appropriate Content-Type header and the browser does the right thing. At that point, the user is welcome to look at it, save it, or print it ... as they see fit.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
