Codex fixes unresponsive printer through iterative debugging

0

Vaibhav Srivastav reported that Codex debugged a macOS printer unresponsive to PDF output. Over three turns of feedback the model analyzed CUPS queue errors, retrieved checklist.pdf, and submitted print jobs 508 and 509 from the Gmail attachments window. Codex then printed all test documents in the target folder and recorded a perfect score on PrinterBench.

Codex literally debugged and fixed the printer! The printer wasn't working via the normal PDF to print route, ask codex to iterate and gave it feedback if it worked or not in 3 turns we had fixed the biggest problem of our generation. Scores a resounding 100% on PrinterBench!
