From the 71B:
PRINTER IS :RS232
PLIST
Every PRINT command goes to the printer, every DISP goes to the display (DISPLAY IS :<device> )
For removing these settings enter PRINTER IS *
or DISPLAY IS *
Sorry, I can't help you from the 41s point of view.
I'm a beginner on the 41 and will leave 41 tips to the experts (There are lots of them here).

steve,
because the interface does not announce itself as a printer, the built-in printer functions of the 82160a assume that there is no printer on the loop. printing will work after issueing an XEQ 'MANIO' prior to printing, because this command tells the interface, that the user himself wants to handle the selection of the proper device on the loop. 'MANIO' will stay in effect until you reset the 82160a to its default state by XEQ 'AUTOIO'. if you have more than just the rs232 on the loop, you might need to address the rs232 manually by (x) XEQ'SELECT', where x is the loop address of the rs232, placed in the x-register of the stack.
cheers,
hans
