I have configured a print server and added a remote printwer using the lp* command front end for CUPS
lpr works as expected; I can print documents using the command line
If I try and print something via a GUI application, such as firefox or deocument-viewer, the printer that I created doesn't appear in the list of printers when I
select print from the toolbar. How can I make GUI applications aware of this printer that I added. I am using the XFCE DE

Assuming it's only gtk3 applications that are affected, then you probably just need to install the gtk3 printer backends package. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#Installation
Pacman told you this when you installed gtk3.
