Stuart Breden I doubt there is a laser printer, of any size, that will print on a DVD directly. They will print paper labels, if set properly, but I would be looking at an inkjet solution. I have one of the smaller Epson (R230) which does a good job directly on DVD's and I'm sure Canon and HP have similar printers.

Re: Printer/CD DVD labels
I agree with Mike. Lasers use heat to print directly to an object. No disk will accept direct printing from a laser printer. Printing on labels is always dodgy as they can peel back and need a stomper to get them centred and balanced correctly. Ink-jets are cheap and most that are made for printing on a disk can print on disks that has a white surface. These discs are now quite common. Some external Mac friendly DVD burners such as Lacie are able to burn using light scribe media. These will burn the DVD and then scribe an image or text in mono chrome on the light scribe surface. Perhaps this is what you are referring to Stuart? Light scribe DVD disks are only a little more pricey than normal DVDs.

Re: Printer/CD DVD labels
We have a HP Photosmart D5360 and I bought a printing programme named Discus. The printer is good but Discus is brilliant. The disk printing software that came with the printer was useless.

Re: Printer/CD DVD labels
If you don't want to print directly onto printable DVD's the dymo labelwriter has an easily applicable disc label. See labelcity.com.au Cheers.
