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.

What is the best small laser printer the could print these DVD's
and/or prints labels for them?

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.
