Rewrite the equation as
z w - 3w - 2i w + 4i z + 8 - 12i = 0.
Group and factor:
(z - (3+2i))(w + 4i) = z w + 4i z - (3+2i)w - 4i(3+2i)
= (z w - 3w - 2i w + 4i z) + 8 - 12i,

so using the given equation the left side equals 0. Hence
(z - (3+2i))(w + 4i) = 0.

Therefore either z = 3 + 2i (with w arbitrary) or w = -4i (with z arbitrary). The pair (z,w) = (3+2i,-4i) lies in both families. These are all the solutions.
