I agree that the printing problem, apparently with GnuCash in this 
instance, is NOT a GnuCash problem. But I had so many problems with 
flatpack programs, the crazy places they were located, the bizarre names 
that the went by, that I quit using them entirely.

Now part of my problems with flatpack is that I run RHEL8 and it uses 
SELinux kernel that is very fussy about who does and uses what. Even the 
root user can not violate the security of that kernel directly; i.e., it 
is fussier than merely following permissions on files, and flatpack 
seems to  pay no attention to that.

If it were only GnuCash printing, perhaps  I would follow the links you 
supplied, but my solution is just to not use flatpack at all.
