running word on server for basic task

Having found no alternative software that will do this, I'm trying to get
word 2k, on NT4 to open/print/close a document, via an ASP page, using the
word.application object.

I can see the object start - winword appears in the taskman, but I can't
1) get the document to print
2) get the object to quit/close
this is my code :

set wordapp = createobject("word.application")
Response.Write "<!-- output copy to ps -->"
set worddoc = wordapp.documents.Open (filepath&strfilenamenew)
wordapp.documents(strfilenamenew).activate
For Each aDoc In Documents
  If InStr(1, aDoc.Name, "doc", 1) Then
   aDoc.Activate
   Response.Write "<script type='text/javascript'><!-- alert
('document open = ['"&aDoc.Name&"']!'); //--></script>"
  Else
   Response.Write "<script type='text/javascript'><!-- alert ('no
document open!'); //--></script>"
  End If
Next 'aDoc
intcharacters = worddoc.Characters.Count
Response.Write "<!-- document opened - characters["&intcharacters&"] -->"
wordapp.ActivePrinter = "Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0"
worddoc.PrintOut Copies=1,PrintToFile=True, OutputFileName="e:\ia_docs
\convert\"&strfilenameprint
worddoc.close
wordapp.quit
set wordapp = nothing
set worddoc = nothing<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
