Hi,

after changing all my "setq"  to "setopt"
today opening emacs
I got a backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid text printer name 
‘prt_06a’ for variable ‘pr-txt-name’")
   error("Invalid text printer name `%s' for variable `pr-txt-name'"

Hide Pr Txt Name: Symbol: prt_06a
     State : CHANGED outside Customize.
    Specify a printer for printing a text file. Hide

    The printer name symbol should be defined on ‘pr-txt-printer-alist’ 
(see it for
    documentation).

    This variable should be modified by customization engine.  If this 
variable is
    modified by other means (for example, a Lisp function), use 
‘pr-update-menus’
    function (see it for documentation) to update text printer menu.

"prt_06a" is  defined in printing.el

What do I have to change?
