Ivan,

Check the default printer for that user.  PFPRINTER=
This should be assigned in the script along with PFPRTC=
PFPRINTER is the default printer for the job, PFPRTC is the Type 
information.

By adding it to the script, changes to the config for other purposes 
will not affect the report
destination.
