If you've compiled Xfce yourself, you need to have the CUPS 'devel' 
packages installed before compiling.  If you've installed Xfce via 
distro packages, either they didn't compile CUPS support in, or (more 
likely) there's another package you need to install to get the CUPS 
backend.  Your distro's documentation/help channel/forum would be the 
best place to look next.
