If you are exporting the data to excel and only want the header to show up in Excel when you print not when you view you will need to look at Excel features to do this...

Within Report Studio you can assign objects properties to accomplish this today, I do it all of the time when I have prompts on the report page (not on a prompt page) I give my text labels for these prompts the ishtml property and I give certain header/footer objects ispdf.

This way my HTML objects show up when viewing the report interactively and my headers/footers show up when they export to PDF to print.
You may be able to accomplish something similar with isexcel (I don't know if that exists or not) but as I stated earlier if you have already exported the data to excel (Made Excel the default delivery) than any functions to hide or display has to be within Excel itself
