I have a few questions.

Are there plans to move the rest of the applications such as gnome-games
and gnome-utils from gnomeprintui to gtkprint?

What about gnomecanvas? Can applications be ported to directly use cairo
instead? Is that possible? Does this require changes to gtk+ can this be
application specific?

The general push is to kill off libgnome, libgnoeui,
libgnomecanvas, libgnomeprint, and libgnomeprintui.
It's not an instant process. See:

As for the canvas, there have been a lot of recent
discussions about how best to implement a new canvas
inside GTK+. See, for example, Havoc's post:
