How would these even work as Flatpaks? 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.

For anyone looking to play with these right now without a snap, I've
started a copr[0]. I don't have the systemd service working yet, but you
can start the printer app server manually.
It gives you a good feel for where the project is going.
