Thread Name: CD printing ?
Subject: RE: CD printing ?
I have an HP Photosmart D7560 which is my only printer. It replaced a previous HP printer that would also print to CD. The previous one died. The D7560 corrected several little problems with its predecessor. My main problem with the present printer is the way it consumes ink. I have finally begun using the xtra cartridges which are more costly but supposed to last three times as long. I have not used them long enough to make any comment. Photosmart also has very nagging photo software that is useless to me but might benefit some users. I do not use the label making software that came with the printer. I have label making software that has worked well with each printer and also works with lightscribe. The printer label software usually gets a worse rating than the printer, but as I have no experience with the software, I cannot comment further.

Canon makes printers that print to CDs but they are only available in Europe. The same printers sold in the US have the CD printing disabled. Instructions for hacking these printers is available for those who would like that challenge.
