Are you calling the necessary Win32Lib routines to manage a print job? The Printer control documentation for Win32Lib provides this example:

-- example of using printer 
sequence result 
 
-- select the printer 
result = getPrinter() 
 
-- did the user select a printer? 
if length( result ) then 
 
    -- start a new document 
    if not startDoc( sprintf( "My Job, Copy %s", {i} ) ) then 
        exit 
    end if 
 
    -- start a new page 
    if not startPage() then 
        exit 
    end if 
 
    -- print on the page 
    wPuts( Printer, "Hello, Printer!" ) 
 
    -- close the page 
    if not endPage() then 
        exit 
    end if 
 
    -- close the document 
    if not endDoc() then 
        exit 
    end if 
 
    -- release the printer 
    releasePrinter() 
 
end if
