You will need to give the authenticated user IIS is using (depends on what kind of authentication method is set on your site) access to printer in that case. IIS7 adds a default builtin user account IUSR which is user while running under anonymous authentication. However it is different on IIS6 which uses IUSR_machine_name under anonymous authentication. I would say best way is to run your application under a credential which has access to printer. If you add your local IUSR account to have access to printer, this will not work on IIS6 where you will need to give the default user IUSR_machine_name access too. Also, Ruslan sent some good links which explains this impersonation in detail. Look at that for further details.

No, when I turn it off it works. When I turn it back on (the way we had it before, and need it), it generates the error.

When you have fastcgi.impersonate set to 1, IIS tries to impersonate the security token of the calling client. This means, for example if an IIS site has 'Anonymous' authentication off and let's say Windows authentication on, 'Windows' authenticated user will be impersonated by PHP main thread and all the files and other system resource will be accessed using the authenticated Windows user security tokens. So if that user/credential doesn't have permission to access a resource it will fail. In your case it seems after fastcgi.imersonate is set, the credential/secutrity token impersonated of the user has credential to access the printer. Hope this helps.

IIS 7 on my dev machine, which is what I am testing on. The prod server is IIS 6.
