This works for me on LibreOffice on my Mac (also uses Cups)
LibreOffice 3.3 330m12(Build:1)
/path/to/soffice -headless -pt PRINTER_NAME doco.doc
Note though that if you wanted to do this outside of X11, it might fail...

Cameron,
Thanks for your suggestion!!!!
On my system that command results in printing the document on the
desired printer, but does not return back to the shell prompt. If I add
-terminate_after_init so that the command line is :
openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt3 document.doc -terminate_after_init
The above command returns back to the prompt but the document is not
printed.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!!!
Greg
