If your hardware is set to UTC, then your time configuration should be set to UTC. The setting is for what the hardware clock is set to, not what the software clock is running on.
When you set what timezone you are in, the computer works out the difference between it and UTC, and your software clocks show you your local time.
If the time is wrong, then that could upset some services that might treat files from the future as being invalid, or very old files as some type of other problem.
The above is exactly what happened to me, which prevented cups browsing to occur.
