[cups.general] print .doc with lp

I'm trying to print a MS .doc just by using `lp -d printer file.doc`, 
but it doesn't print the document, just some garbled text. I can print 
just fine from word or openoffice, but not command line. Is there a way 
to do this? Do I need to change mime.types or mime.convs or any filters? 
Maybe I could convert the file first, like to PS or an image. Any advice?

Thanks!
