I do have
/usr/local/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-lpr.so
as provided by gtk+3-3.24.10 (was gtk-3.0 vs gtk+3.0 a typo?).

I didn't use that so far; now I have
$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gtk-print-backends="lpr"
which is probably not the right syntax,
as firefox/gtk says on startup
(firefox:58612): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:21:25.416: Failed to parse
