@barthalion – I am having the identical problem printing from Firefox 79.0/Flatpak 1.0 as Rich, and accumulating …cache/tmp/gtkprint* files just as he described. Attempting to Print To File (PDF) also defaults to saving the PDF in the …cache/tmp/ folder as well (but that, at least, can be changed to, say, ~/Downloads.) I require the Firefox 79.0 flatpak because version 68.11 currently available in the Debian repos does not support Zoom for job interviews. (I am a COVID-19 casualty.)
Printing seems to proceed normally, except the printer never sees the jobs (“No active jobs.”) Removing the printer and re-detecting and adding it back to the devices list has no effect.
In answer to your question, yes, I have the following xdg support modules installed.
~$ sudo apt list xdg-* | grep installed
