Re: AntiX 13.x

hi,
This printer has date coded ink cartridges and one has a chip code that's past end-of-life!
Therefore, inorder to print, the Year must be turned back to 2013.

Q: How can one change the system clock Year back to 2013, inorder to get a hardcopy?
A couple mouse clicks does it on other distros.

I have not needed to do this but I would think that you can change the system date with date command. Man date in terminal should give you the information needed to make the changes using date. After that I believe you will need to set the bios date using the hwclock command. And set the system to use the hardware time instead of the Internet time servers. I am not sure on the command for this though maybe dpkg - reconfigure tzdata???

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that, without Googleing and searching the forum myself.
