I was just able to convert a doc file to a pdf file online using lynx.  I 
uploaded the file to them from my sdf shell account, they emailed it to my 
same account in less than a minute, and I could then download the pdf file 
to my own computer and print it with Steven's ps-print script and xpdf, 
filling in ps-print as the 'print with command', which it retained.

Links probably works too.

The other sites I tried required Opera (javascript).

Even pdfonline flunked a complicated WORD format that WORD could convert 
to pdf.  I have not tried Adobe's online conversion.

They also convert from many other formats to pdf.

Antiword can convert doc to ps or text (with columns) but the ps looks a 
lot like the text (dashed instead of solid lines, one size font).

I will look for a linux doc to pdf or ps convertor.
