I take it that your system uses CUPS for printing/spooling. What xfce 
version are you using? Have you set CUPS as the printing system in the 
Printing System Selection dialog in the xfce settings manager?
Are you able to print to that printer from other (non-xfce) applications 
(e.g. OpenOffice or gedit)?
