Recent changes to easy-menu.el breaks "printing.el".

[no-spam@cua.dk (Kim F. Storm)]

I've been using Vinicius Jose Latorre's excellent "printing"
package without a glitch -- until recently.

The printing package does some pretty obscure things to setup
its Printing entry on the Tools menu, and it no longer works
for me.

I traces the problem to a recent change to easy-menu where
strings are now downcased before they are interned.

Since printing.el does not expect this, it fails.

I've fixed it in printing.el with the following small modification.
I'm using version 2.1 which may be out-dated, but I'm unable to find
anything newer.
