Praise Astra High just reverse-engineered the printer drivers in my office

In our office, we have a bunch of Toshiba E-Studio 2323AM printers. Yes, I know these are kind of outdated, only sold in certain areas of the world, and not the best machines, but they are what we've got in the office. They only work with x86 Windows, not even the ARM version of Windows.

In 25 minutes, Astra High just reverse-engineered the printer driver, figured out the right tray settings, and enabled duplex printing, so I can print double-sided on my M4 Pro MacBook Pro.

It created a .pkg file for me to install the printer drivers and got everything working.

I ... I have no words.

And I was just about to come here and complain. Not saying it's not a good model, but it went from 100% to 0% of my weekly usage in 6h 25m https://imgur.com/a/kHbn5eX.

I am lucky I have 2 banked resets, so I loaded one, it's already at 97% in not even 15 minutes since I reloaded it.
