Question Printing .DOCX documents W/O Word on Computer

[Last2Try]

How would you print .DOCX documents programmatically on a computer that dosent have Word installed.
Open Office is on this computer, but it will not properly convert the .docx document.

So I need to be able to print out the docx document in landscape without word or convert to .DOC which Open Office will convert properly.

You pretty much can't. If you expect to be able to print the contents of a file then you have to have an application on your computer that understands the format of that file and how to translate that into something the printer can understand. If you don't have any other application like that then your application would have to do it. Do you understand the DOCX format? I doubt it. You might be able to get a free application that can convert a DOCX to a PDF and then print that but there's no way to render a file without an application that understands the file's contents.
