Problem with 802.1x printers authentication

Question
-
Hello.
I have a problem with my MS Windows Server 2008R2 with installed Network Policy and Access Services role.
All PCs in my network authorized by this server and everything is fine, but i have a problem with authentication MFPs and printers (HP and Kyocera).
I created users for printers and network policy to assign it to properly VLAN using PEAP (EAP-MS-CHAP-v2) authentication. After specifying at printer domain username and password I set port on my switch in authentication mode, but server told me that there is a error with code 23 - An error occurred during the Network Policy Server use of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Check EAP log files for EAP errors - there is a same error for all printers in my LAN
There is CA-server in my network, and certificate for NPS-server issued by it. I tried to install certificate of this CA (and NPS-server) on printers, but it does not matter for it.
In IASSAM.log there is the next messages about authentication attempts:

Hi Wendy.
I already read this thread, but it does not work for me - I have no chance to update firmware of printers because Kyocera doesn't give a firmwares to customers.
Yesterday I tried to connect new printer (Kyocera P2135dn) with 802.1x authentication and it was succesfull, but another ones are not. So now I have one 802.1x-authenticated printer and about 15 - MAC-based authenticated, so it is making me a bit depressed
