However, this is in fact outputLines :: Int -> IO [()]

As others suggested you can use mapM_ Furthermore, you can simplify it a bit with some syntactic sugar outputLines i = mapM_ (putStrLn . show) [1..i] BTW, considering how often is (putStrLn.show) used, it is surprising that there is no Ln variant for print (just like it happens with putStr and putStrLn)
