Well, only part of the problem, as RMS pointed in a private email, the 
problem
is in part related with pr-get-symbol.

Changing pr-get-symbol to:

 (defun pr-get-symbol (name)
   (easy-menu-intern name))

It's possible to bootstrap & install Emacs, but an error occurs when 
starting
Emacs with (require 'printing) in ~/.emacs.

The problem is related with easy-menu-get-map, that it's used by
easy-menu-add-item.  And easy-menu-add-item is used by printing.el to change
File menu options.

Now, easy-menu-get-map returns:

  (easy-menu-get-map nil '("files"))
  ==> (keymap "files")

And before easymenu.el changing, easy-menu-get-map returned:

  (easy-menu-get-map nil '("files"))
  ==> (keymap (open-file menu-item Open File... ..) .....  File)
