Might be able to reduce the amount of RAM required by TOPS by dropping
back to version 2.x. Might check with TOPS (76004.2075@CompuServe.Com).
Under version 2.x Dos style printer output had to be routed through
a larger TSR called NetPrint. But Word probably produces postscript
ready to go. TOPS should be able to tell you what the minimum configuration
is. Personally,  I don't print much from my PC so I use PRN2FILE to
save printer output to a file. Then I exit word processing or whatever
and let a batch file load up my TOPS driver, ship the file to the printer,
unload everything, and back to work. Works like a charm under 2.x. 

TOPS Tech Support did not use to be very fast replying to Internet so...
Anyone know if they have a direct Internet address?
