They are not graphical applications or even console applications. These are helper services for CUPS. I wouldn't expect those to work in Flatpak at all.
(here I'm starting to talk based on talks I've seen and how I've
understood them - I still haven't had time to deeply test them by
myself, I've only tried briefly lprint last year...)
Actually they are console applications - you can start them by
CLI as an user or make them start on startup by its service unit.
Once you configure your device at http://localhost:8000 (web ui
for the printer application), your device will become available
via mDNS and you can print without any other configuration (if
your mDNS support in Fedora works). Or if you don't trust your
local network, you can install the queue with uri - ipp://localhost:8000/ipp/print/<queue_name_you_chose_in_printer_app>
Ad printer apps being in flatpack - as you can see in the github
issue[1], ps-printer-application and hplip-printer-application are
available in SNAP repositories (CUPS has its SNAP as well in SNAP
store). IIUC flatpack is based on the similar technology as snap,
so my thoughts were the flatpack version is also possible.
