Hmm - that's actually a bug in Emacs.  Sorry about that.

You can either ignore the warnings for now until it is fixed in Emacs,
or suppress the warnings by using "lpr" instead of nil as printer
command everywhere.  Any string value is accepted without warning, but
the test for the value is currently too strict, it barfs about nil
printer commands although that should pass.

So, for example

(setopt pr-ps-printer-alist
        '((lps_06b "lpr" nil "-P" "lps_06b")
          (lps_07c "lpr" nil nil  "lps_07c")
          (lps_08c "lpr" nil nil  "lps_08c")
          ))

will not produce a (wrong) warning.  Of course you can also still switch
back to use `setq' instead of `setopt' in this case for now.
