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)
