According to <https://wiki.debian.org/TimeZoneChanges> the correct way to set the time zone in Debian is to run "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" which will update both /etc/timezone *and* /etc/localtime. Of course, since Gene's printer isn't running Debian, we can't accurately tell him what commands to run. But at the bare minimum, Gene should check: ls -ld /etc/*time* If it turns out his printer has an /etc/localtime symlink pointing to the wrong time zone, then re-pointing it should help.
