[cups] Printer Status

[Collins, David]

We are moving our print server to another datacenter.  Everything has looked normal except I noticed that the lpstat -p command was showing different timezones on printers.  Everything has been looking normal.  This hasn't been put into production yet, nor have we sent any print jobs to the printers yet.

How is it getting a mix of timezones on the printers?  The server time on the print server is IST.  We do have printers throughout the world.

I also see that the last updates on the printers are very old as well.  Is there a way to clean up the status of the printers and timezones ?


Here's a sample of them.

printer XXXXA is idle.  enabled since Sun 12 Oct 2014 12:50:02 AM IST
printer XXXXB is idle.  enabled since Thu 14 Mar 2013 09:55:31 PM GMT
printer XXXXC is idle.  enabled since Sun 29 Mar 2015 03:55:26 AM IST
printer XXXXD is idle.  enabled since Fri 25 Apr 2014 06:57:55 AM IST
printer XXXXE is idle.  enabled since Mon 24 Aug 2015 12:04:33 PM IST
