Steps to reproduce:

I installed the flatpak on Debian Bookworm but no printers except print to PDF showed up in the standard dialogue and in the System Dialogue there's an additional option for print to LPR.

Actual results:

I tried adding the permission to the D-BUS session bus which worked for a moment. After a few hours I got a crash and then the printers disappeared again (permission still applied). It should just show the printers. Print to PDF works as a workaround but forces me to use a different tool as the default PDF Application

Expected results:

Printers should appear through the portal as stated in Bug 1411589

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Widget: Gtk
Product: Firefox → Core

Just to give a small update:

After a restart of Firefox I can see the printer but it disappears after a while (I would say about a day or so). Then after a restart I can print again.

I also deactivated the D-BUS Session permission so that didn't seem to be the problem.
