Only 1 out of 2 GPO deployed printers shows up

I've deployed 2 printers via GPO. On a test laptop I can see both printers are being shared by the print server but only one printer has been automatically added.

Both printers are using package-aware drivers, AFAIK, so there shouldn't be deployment issues. The time since the printers were deployed is now over a day so it's unlikely a DC/GPO replication issue. The print server is using Windows Server 2022 and the test laptop is using Windows 10.

Any idea why only 1 out of 2 printers is being deployed correctly? Is there any way to "debug" this? I.e. some kind of log or something to check if there's a potential issue?

    Check windows event viewer on your windows 10 laptop, it records any group policy failure and should be a good starting point. Report back your findings.
