"cdrecord: OPC failed" I believe it is saying that the drive has failed. That could mean anything. Maybe the drive isn't set up right for cdrecord to work with it. or maybe the driver doesn't work with your make and model.
First thing I would do is in a terminal,

To see what you have got in the way of recognised devices.

Thanks, John. The driver is recognised alright with cdrecord -scanbus and I can do a dummy run satisfactorily with a CD-R disk in the drive, also cdrecord writes stuff out through the drive quite happily to a (Toshiba) CD-RW disk. I forgot to mention that the same CD-R disks can be written to (after cdrecord has refused) by the drive in Win'98 (bah!).

P.S. cdrecord -scanbus output appended:

The blank discs write satisfactorily in windblows, so they are not really the problem.
You say it can do a dummy write with the lazer turned off, but not an actual write, odd.
Is there a size problem ? Maybe too much data to fit on the disc ?
What are you writing , data or audio ?
