Hey Karl,

Someone kindly found this for me:

Open Office will allow you to select the CD Tray.  Just need to
find/create a suitable template.

Let me know how you go.

Thanks Karl,

Doesn't sound good.

I'll harrass them also - see what happens.

I've emailed HP's support on this about 6 months ago. The CD tray
option is available, but no matter what I do I cannot get the margins
right. Neither can I print A4 borderless. HP were not much help.

HP Photosmart C5280 - CD printing

2008-08-02 Thread The Wassermans
I gave up on trying to get a Lexmark to work in Ubuntu.

I bought the above HP C5280. It is an "all in one printer/scanner etc"
It worked straight out of the box.  I am delighted.  (Cost $130 - $50
Cash back.)

My choice of printer was influenced by it's ability to print direct to
an inkjet printable CD.  It has a special caddie for this purpose.

Can someone maybe tell me how to get it to work?

Dave W
