Several questions have been posted last week about capturing printer data:

>Does anyone know if a program that can redirect the print-data in a file

]Get BARREL.ARC from any archive site (I highly recommend our site at

:I, too, am interested in this.  I remember hearing about a program called
:barrel (or something like that) that was just the ticket.  I looked over the

Months ago I have asked the same question and received many responsed. All of
them telling me to get BARREL. I got barrel but couldn't use it, 'cause
barrel captures all the data in memory. So with barrel I could not "print"
graphical on my 1M ST.
Some weeks ago I recieved ICCA. A little program (~3k) able to capture screen/
rs232 or printerdata straight to disk. It works well on my harddisk.
I do not know if printing to a floppy will result in continious switching
floppies.

As icca uses a second screen for the userinterface, allocated when starting
to capture to a (new) file, you may have problems to start it within
programs that allocate all the available memory. If so, start icca before.

I do not know the author of the program. I got it from a dutch bbs:
"Dutchman". The archive contains a program and a little documentation.
Because it is very small, and a lot of users seem to need it, here it is:

Enjoy,
