I do not use GNOME or fprintd but the manual page says it's a DBus
service that comes with a PAM module.
I am not sure that fprintd-service-type installs the PAM module, so
maybe that happens in GDM. I was further unable to find your error
message starting with "Sorry" in the Gilab repos for libfprint or
fprintd. [1]
I would snoop around in /var/log/messages or nearby files with grep.
Logging is a wonderful thing.
Kind regards
Felix
