Print word doc using lpr command

Hi ,

We are trying to automate Printing the word document directly from the Server level to a Printer.
We have printer registered and command I use is

Code:
lp -d printername 1234.doc

Even though the program completes fine, a print does not reach to the printer for word document. In order to make sure, I passed a PDF file and it got Printed fine.

After extensive checks I found I need to convert DOC into PDF and then print.
  1. Can we print a Word document directly from server instead of converting it?
  2. If We need to convert to PDF is there a way to do it without any installation. (Libreoffice is one option, but it needs installation)

Kindly advice.

Regards,
Prashant

NAME
gpr - a graphical frontend for lpr. SYNOPSIS
gpr [-h] [--help] [-P <printer>] [-J <job name>] [-r] [-n] [-p <flag>] [filename]... DESCRIPTION
gpr is a graphical interface to lpr that provides for easy configuration of printer-specific options. gpr interfaces with a PostScript printer's PPD file to create a user-interface of configurable options. Based upon user choice, the device-specific option code is then inserted into the PostScript job and sent to the printer. This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or staple the print job, or tell it what paper tray to draw paper from. NOTE: gpr will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not, it will call a2ps to pre- process it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr. OPTIONS
gpr accepts the following options: -h, --help Show summary of options. -P Specify a destination printer -d Enable debugging output -J lpr option: Job name to print on burst page -r lpr option: Remove the files upon completion of spooling -n gpr option: Print the command line rather than executing the command -p gpr option: Use ppdfilt: 0 = Never, 1 = Always, 2 = with non-default PPD OTHER INFO
The webpage for the GNULpr suite is at http://lpr.sf.org. SEE ALSO
