I don't have the manual right here at work to verify it, but I think you need to have 6 Ranger levels to cast spells. When it comes to spellcasting it's always the casters class' level that determines spell level, and not your character level ( your total level if you're a multi-class). If that were the case then a 1 Wizard/19 Fighter could cast lv. 9 Wizard spells, not really balanced wouldn't you agree.
When you leveled up your Ranger to lv. 6 then you should be able to cast spells.
