I just upgraded xfce4-4.2.1-1 after the upgrade I receive the following error from xfprint:
** ERROR **: Unable to load printing system module cups_plugin.so
aborting...
Aborted
it's there
$ find /opt/xfce4/ -name "cups*"
/opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.la
/opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.so
/opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.a
How to get xfprint working again?

Run ldd over te .so file you see there and report the things marked as "not found" in the bugtracker?

Indeed, there is an issue with xfprint. I got in touch with Xfce folks about this problem... but nothing came of it yet.
I also investigated a little bit, and it seems that it is a call to g_module_open that fails, but I still can't figure why.
As a consequence, it seems the issue is linked with glib.
Maybe, it would be interesting to try to use an older version of glib to see if it's not a regression...

I did two fresh installs with the latest Arch Xfce4 packages and get the same error with xfprint:
"unable to load printing system module cups_plugin.so"
In addition to that, Xffm crashes when I try to use it to look at the properties of any file. The error message that shows in terminal window:
"g-module_open (/opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xffm_prop.so"
One more thing, when trying to "quit" from the right-click menu, I get:
"xfceDesktopMenu: unable to find "quit" symbol in parent executable"
The "quit" button posititioned on the panel works just fine.
Note that I also run Debian on another box. The latest Xfce4 packages fetched with apt-get from www.os-works.com seem to work fine. It's only the Arch Xfce4 packages giving me these problems.
Hope some of this might help in determining the fix... :?

If you have unresolved symbols, the g_module_open will fail. Please test the thing I described to find out if it's a broken dependency or something, and if so, file a bug.

I'm having the same problems of ozar, but when I try to look at the properties of a file in xffm, this is the error that i get:
** ERROR **: g_module_open(/opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xffm/libxffm_prop.so) == NULL
And none of the libs (cups_plugin.so or libxffm_prop.so) have broken dependencies.

I have the same problem.

xfprint 4.2.1-2 is out and it should fix the issue with plugin that couldn't be loaded.
The root cause was an unfortunate regression in xfprint Makefiles...
