Access denied on DocumentProperties call after impersonation when running 32bit applicaiton on 64bit Windows 10

Question

I have the need to get a printers DEVMODE structure after my application has impersonated a user. This works fine as long as my Architecture matches that of the Windows, 32bit application running on a 32bit OS, and vice versa. However, any call I make to DocumentProperties fails with either an ERROR CODE: 5 (Access is denied) on Windows 10, or RPC error on Windows 7 after the impersonation on a 32bit version of my application running on a 64bit OS. Unfortunately, the customer is not able to run the 64bit version of my application due to other legacy applications that it needs to interact with.

Does anyone know of a work around to this issue?

Here is a small sample code that will demonstrate the issue. You will need to build it as a x86 application and run it on a 64bit OS to see the issue.

// DocumentPropertiesTest.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "Winspool.h"
#include "DocumentPropertiesTest.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

        if (!AfxWinInit(hModule, NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
        {
            // TODO: change error code to suit your needs
            _tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
