One major problem with stick on labels, besides the damage done to the CD is that some players will not play CDs with the stick on label. Players in vehicles may be the worst in this regard. I only have a few CDs with the adhesive labels because I just had to play with that concept, but I cannot use them in my Nissan truck.

The Epson printers that print to CDs are really not all that expensive nor is the cost per CD. Some months back there were some articles on CD burners that would also print to the top side of the CD. They were to appear sometime in the fall of 2004. I have yet to see an announcement of their availability.
