I respond because that is wrong.  It does work.  CUPS browsing does work
for people with UTC set and for people without UTC set.  It works for
me, it works for them.

You have a fault, it's not CUPS, and it's been pointed out where the
problem actually is.

You are misdiagnosing cause and effect.

According to what you have said, over numerous messages, you have *not*
set your time correctly.  You've misunderstood how the clocks should be
configured.  That is, the time the clock is set for, *and* *all* the
parameters that describe to the system how the clock is set.

The simple proof is, if you have set the clock configuration correct,
CUPS browsing will work.

Until you fix the actual problem, explained numerous times, you going to
experience other problems.  One of them is going to be hitting your head
against other people who keep pointing out what you're doing wrong.  It
won't stop being wrong just because you don't like it.

And corrections aren't just made for your benefit, whether or not you
accept them, they're also made for people researching the same problems,
so they get the correct answers.

Go back and read the messages, mine and jdow's, read the documentation
for setting the clock, and do it correctly.  Do not assume that because
your clock appears to show the correct time, according to you looking at
it and comparing it with some non-computer clock.

NB:  You can't just change the UTC setting on and off to test things
(such as CUPS browsing).  You have to set the time of the clock in
accordance with the UTC setting, too.
