You don't even need to fiddle with the clock of the PC. Use a windows inside a virtual machine, have a backup of the machine before the printing and just print, get the contents, restore the backup, restart the virtual machine and repeat

Sony 505 and 700 can also read DRM on PDF files as can PPC devices. Macs can also use Digital Editions to read DRM PDF.

As I am not living in the US there is no way that I know of to transfer
my legally purchased ADE book to my sony prs 505 (and be able to read it). I can, however, read it on my computer with digital editions (which I was able to register digital edition, but not my sony).

This kind of nonsense perpetrated by the publishers and sony (why should it matter where I live, in terms of registering my sony device?) does nothing but encourage and/or force people to obtain pirated material to read.

I much prefer reading with my prs 505 than with my laptop.

Any suggestions?

This is the DR forum, not the Sony one, However I suspect most of us agree with your views.
I assume this is a DRM book, in which case have a look at:
