One possibility is that you do not have sufficient privileges to write to the directory where the miame.ini file (or its subdirectories.) The above spooling options cause temporary files to be created in that directory, and if the directory cannot be written to, the operation will fail. Other suggestions are to use the .SET TRACE LP ON command to display detailed information about the various steps involved in printing (possibly clarifying where it is failing) and to look at the OPR:SPOOL.LOG) file to see if it contains any useful error messages.
