Print Screen?

A bit more detail of how you're making these CDs would help.

I just upload a number of cds onto windows media player, I have a fairly extensive library of tunes. I create a playlist. Insert a blank cd and burn it. But I can find no way to print a cover for the newly created cd. I hope this helps, I am not quite a luddite, but I am close. Sorry.

Do you want to print the cd art or the songs list?

If you want to print the cd cover art, find/make the picture you want, go to Microsoft Paint, which you should have installed if it's Windows 7 (if not I think it's free) and past the picture you want in paint with right click paste. Then find the bottom edge of the blank white background and drag it until just the picture is surrounded by the borders. Hit "file-print-page set up" to make sure it prints the right way. If sizing is an issue, you can go to "file-properties" and change the measurements it gives you to be in inches and then make the picture the same size as the cd contained you're using.

If you want to print the songs in the playlist in a basic unformatted way, it really depends how you made it. If you made it in iTunes, you can copy and paste the list into Microsoft word. Highlight everything by either hitting CTRL+A or going to the top corner, or edit+select all. Then copy it and paste it into Microsoft word. If you can't do that because you did it on another program, I don't really know. You could try one of those tools that can pick up words on pictures. There's some free ones online.

I use screen shots, &/or copy & paste from Nero sometimes, Usually paste into Excel and format from there. Or Word for jpg.
You might be able to use OCR from a jpg if you need text. Have a look at Free on-line OCR though watch the resolution, I found 600 dpi is about as large as you can go with the site. 6Mb largest file.
I did several files to get a family tree history OCR'ed and that was from a typewriter (typed before 1978). So modern fonts should pose no problem.
Screen shots - hit PrtSc or Alt-PrtSc
paste & crop in PhotoShop or Wndows Paint etc.

iTunes has (had?) a way of printing playlists for CD inserts or printable labels, but I think it was limited to a fairly low number of tracks so I stopped using it. I'm a Mac user so have nothing whatsoever to offer on Windows methods.
