Print Word (.docx) files using cups4J

[smudgal-omers]

Hello, not sure if this is the right question for cups4j but I'll still give it a try.

I want to print .docx files using cups4j and I am using cups-pdf as the printer.

When I try to print .docx files, the output pdf is always empty using cups-pdf.

Is there a way, I can leverage cups4j's capabilities to print a .docx file?
I see from cups config files that three following application file formats are supported by cups ootb to print:
application/msword (this one prints only .doc files and not .docx)
application/pdf
application/postscript

So, .docx files are not supported by cups but I want to know if there are any optios/ways to do it using cups4j

You can print PDF and PS files directly via CUPS. So you would need to convert your .docx to PDF or PS in order to print it via Cups4j
