I have this printer getting its time info from this machine's ntpsec but

What does /etc/localtime say?
For example on my raspberrypi 4
ls -hal /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Nov 1 18:21 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT
cat /etc/timezone
America/New_York
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.
Which is why I posted the above.
Libc uses /etc/localtime so the printer is likely to use that
By doing ls -hal /etc/localtime will point that out
My research has shown that /etc/timezone is a debianism and was slated to be
depreciated.
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata will not allow me to set the time zone to EST5EDT
