ANNEALING for a VARIABLE CELL

Dear all,
I'd like to ask help for properly setting the annealing calculation of my 
molecular crystal. The ultimate goal would be description of the cell 
dynamic from a high temperature monoclinic phase to low temperature 
triclinic one. I would like to test both heating and cooling procedures, 
with the intent to identify the collective variables to later use in a 
metadynamic calculation. 

So, as I set the input (heating mode) following the few examples reported, 
the calculation crashes saying that in the &PRINT section the &ENERGY block 
is not recognized. Can you kindly help me fix the problem or tell me I 
should avoid to put in the input file? 

Here the input:
