Strangely enough, I've just had a very similar issue with another
application (Timeware needing to print a "Who Is In" report when the
fire alarm rings).
The issue we found was that the account being used to run the service
did not have access to the printer. In our case, Timeware didn't bomb
out, but nothing was printed.
As soon as we gave permissions to the printer for the Timeware
service, all was well.
Now with regards to IIS, I'm not too sure.
What I have half worked out ...
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.fastcgi.impersonate is
required to be set to 1.
The ApplicationPool that your site(s) run under needs to be set to
something which can print.
