Those warnings will not influence you while using rcd-paps.el package.

Maybe you did not get really latest rcd-paps.el
https://gnu.support/files/emacs/packages/rcd-paps/rcd-paps.el

It is very useful tool to generate PDF out of any buffer of Emacs.

Another issue is that I use latest `paps' from:

dov/paps: A text to postscript converter through pango:
https://github.com/dov/paps

`paps' command as compared to GNU `a2ps' or `enscript' supports
Unicode and emoji out of box. 

There is also basic markup that one can use:

Pango – 1.0: Text Attributes and Markup:
https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html

theoretically is possible to write translator package to convert Emacs
Enriched mode, or any fontified Emacs buffer to pango markup and to
generate PDF files in colors.
