In both calculators that was the last program in the catalog list. After entering another small program into the HP-41C I finally obtained 30 bytes. Apparently the CAT 1 method doesn't work for the most recent program in the calculator. I've been using an infrared module and an HP-82240B printer.

Probably due to the NULL bytes inserted automatically between two numeric program steps, like in the sequence below:

02 0
03 0
04 1

which adds two "hidden" bytes to the byte count.

In fact that sequence has the same byte count that if you inserted ENTER^ between each line:

02 0
03 ENTER^
04 0
05 ENTER^
06 1

Mystery solved,
