Lexmark s605 Interact on Ubuntu 13.10
Lexmark S605 Interact printer
I struggled for some time to get my Lexmark printer to work both on and off my wireless home network, and it was hard to find help online. One day of frustrating trials and errors boiled down to this:
- I installed the recommended drivers from Lexmark Support
- I opened the Lexmark Printer Utility from the Ubuntu menue
- I followed the instructions to install a new wireless printer.
Trying to print at this stage gave an error message: Directory “/usr/local/lexmark/v3/bin” has insecure permissions. - Following the advice in this thread.
I changed the permissions:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/lexmark/v3/bin/printfilter
And it worked :-)
On the benefits of pre-doc stress, and how I prevent “post-doc traumas”…
Tuesday, January 14th, 2014 PhD advice, dissertation, dpression, graduate, PhD-defence, post-doc, pre-doc None
One happy graduate! A friend gave me the red cap for a Cousteau…esque appeal…
It’s the day you’ve been preparing for, dreading, looking forward to, tossed-and-turned and lost sleep over for the past few weeks and maybe longer. It’s time to defend your PhD-dissertation…
Is the pre-dissertation stress really useful? And what happens when it’s all over? Does it feel like it’s been worth all the agony? Read more
Appendix for PLoS – get LaTeX supplementary figure annotations right!
My last post was about how to compare two latex-files and create a PDF with changes tracked using latexdiff. I needed to do this in order to resubmit a paper to PLoS ONE that had been accepted with some revisions. In short – the editor wanted to see if I had done the job.
In this post I’ll show how I adjusted the figure annotations on supplementary figures using LaTeX.

Track changes in LaTeX documents
Friday, September 20th, 2013 Commands, Science LaTeX, publishing, track changes None
Credits: Hollee J. Chadwick and Eve Corbel
I wrote a scientific paper, submitted it to PLoS ONE and got it accepted with some changes. These days I usually edit text or scripts and use git version control to keep track of the changes. The journal, however, requires that changes are tracked in the revised document itself.
PhD thesis, uiophd documentclass and home computer. Done.
Using the uiophd documentclass in a latex file on your home computer:
LaTeX to MS Word, Open Office or Libre Office Writer
So Writer2Latex works great, but what is the solution when you want to switch FROM editing text documents in LaTeX TO editing it softwares like MS Word? This sounds like a bad idea, but is often needed in order to collaborate on papers with non-LaTeX users (e.g. to use track changes and all that stuff).
I found this:

How to use latex2rtf inside Ubuntu is described here:
