Duplicate and stuck Windows print queues

One physical printer, two entries in Printers & scanners. Jobs go to the dead one and sit there. This is almost always WSD auto-discovery adding its own copy alongside the queue the user installed from the vendor's driver.

Start with the audit. Read-only, needs no admin.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/Test-PrinterQueues.ps1

It groups queues that point at the same device, names the keeper and the duplicate, reports jobs stranded on an offline queue, and prints the exact fix commands. -Json for machine use.

The insight: jobs belong to the queue, not to the port
