guess this is possible, you could install LibreOffice on _another_
computer and connect remotely via an UNO TCP connection, then use
something like loadComponentFromURL to load documents and XPrintable to
print them to a file, perhaps on some NFS share or HTTP server...  that
way you only need the URE installed on the client machine, which is much
smaller.
