The thread above refers (primarily) to the Windows version (EMU71/Win) where the HP-IL module is optional, thus RESTORE IO is needed to initialize the loop if you are using it.

EMU71/DOS (which it seems you might be using from the .ini file reference, which only applies to the Win version) has an HP-IL module "built-in" and therefore RESTORE IO is not needed.

But you specifically mention Using EMU71/Win 1.09...

The error message you get implies the HP-IL Module is not installed, or not installed properly (the RESTORE IO command comes from this module, and the command is not recognized).

Have you installed (via Edit... Port configuration) an HP-IL module and configured it to communicate with ILPer via TCP/IP ? The EMU manual explains how to configure the HP-IL module and the docs that come with the latest ILPer client explain the TCP/IP configuration.

Give all that a try and update this thread with questions or issues.

Ya, that was exactly what I was doing (You managed to reply before I deleted my message).

Making some progress, I have the doslink "module" working :

I installed the Hpilrom.bin (module type HPIL, outport 60001, inport=60000), then started ILDoslink.exe.

After installing the Hpilrom, emu71 (of course) now accepts "PRINTER IS :DOSLINK"

Now how to get the ILVideo80 / ILVideo modules working ?
There doesn't seem to be any settings for them.
When I press the START button, on the video module it just "releases" back to "off"
