alt Hacker NewsCongratulations, you have turned CUPS into a long-term support contract with Anthropic at $20/month, except the other party doesn't have to actually fix your shit and can arbitrarily alter the agreement.

$20 for an everything tool is a steal. It’s a steal at 10x the price.
I’ll happily accept best effort in exchange for it being so cheap that I can throw it at any trivial annoyance.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the alternative is not really that I learn to fix the printer. It’s that I forgo printing and walk someone technologically illiterate through Docusign or something instead.
There’s no world where I spend 2 hours debugging my printer connection.
Then run a local model
It’s not $20 unlimited though, you’ll get a printer fixed then you’ll have to wait 8 hours. Then you’ll ask it to fix something else and it will make a mess of it. Hopefully you’ll realise it at the time rather than a few weeks later and hopefully it will be able to dig you out of your hole.
I have forgotten more ways to fix CUPS than most people know today.
I really don't care.
