I have used an HP Photosmart D7560 which has probably been discontinued or replaced by now for close to three years. This is my second HP printer that prints to disc so I can testify that they do not last forever. This one works quite well so far and does, as far as I am concerned, a decent printing job on CDs and DVDs. It uses a tray to run the CD through the printer. I have never used the software that came with the printer. Reviews of the printer were satisfactory. Reviews of the software that I read were all negative. Since the software I was using for labels upgraded to discs I have kept using that. The cost of printable CDs is now not much more than other CD-Rs. You can get as fancy as you want or just print a title. I like to print the track names which is handy. The software also reads discs and will read an MP3 compilation and print all 170 plus track names if printing a case label. Since this is mostly for my own use and I never sell these things, I do not get complaints. It seems I do spend a fortune on ink. I have not been keeping up with CD printers, but there were several brands at one time that sold CD compatable printers and there were printers designed specifically for CDs.
