I assume you installed MiKTeX, as indicated on the native port page (http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/)? You will need this for the native port to work properly, particularly for generating any output.
You should then be able to preview a LyX document by "View, DVI", which should launch the DVI viewer Yap (comes with MiKTeX); after doing this, you can update the DVI preview by selecting "View, Update DVI". You would then print the document directly from Yap. The native port is excellent; I recently installed it and it was very straightforward, and it works extremely well. I did have to install a few additional MiKTeX packages beyond the basics (geometry, for example, to allow fine tuning of margins on a per-document basis), but this is pretty easy with the MiKTeX update wizard/package manager.
