Back to AUTOIO mode it still works.
I was assuming that each time I unplug/plug the 82160A HP-IL Module, the system was back to his default state (?). I don’t have other HP-IL special module, like Extended IO to investigate further what’s really going on.

The MANIO/AUTOIO status is kept in the flag 32 of the HP-41C, but the selected device is kept in the HP-IL module. So unplug/plug the HP-IL resets the selected device to 1, while possibly still in MANIO.
With the HP-41C, I recommend to use AUTOIO as much as possible, unless for special needs.
I also chose (in the original ILPer) to put the printer as the first device, for this kind of reason.
