I have the HP printer in my home office. With my previous HP printer if I wanted to print from my work laptop I would just email the doc to the printer's email address. I understand Print Anywhere to be the replacement to that email process, but is there a way to send documents to print without installing anything on my work computer? I will be connected to the same Wifi network as the printer.

The short answer is No.
If that is enough information, you are done and can stop reading.

Print Anywhere is indeed the replacement for the old ePrint tech.
Print Anywhere requires that your printer is added to the HP+ service contract.
In addition, Print Anywhere works -- is accessible -- through the HP Smart application.
