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.
