Description of problem:
The timestamps on jobs printed with cups are wrong.  In my case the time is 5 
hours later than it should be.  Is cups perhaps showing timestamps in UTC?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to cups printer admin
2. Print a test page
3. Look at the timestamp in the active or completed jobs
	

Actual Results:  Timestamps are 5 hours ahead of actual time job is/was printed.

Expected Results:  Timestamp should reflect the time the job was printed in the 
server timezone.

Yes, that's UTC.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2002-10-11 14:26:30 UTC
Confusingly, 'lpstat' shows the local time zone, but also omits time zone 
information from its output.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2004-12-09 16:43:03 UTC
Seems to be intentional.
