Have anybody used one of the printers that can print on a CD under Linux to print on a CD? I am interested in buying a printer specifically for this purpose. I assume that it comes with special software for Windows and Mac to print on a CD, but do you need to send the printer special instructions to print on CD or does it work the same as printing on paper? (Just a matter of getting your layout correct) Thanks -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

Not a CD printer, but interesting anyway. Check out LaCie LightScribe. http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10614 I was expecting it to be more expensive, but I see it's $79. k3b has support for LightScribe, AFAR

Looks very nice. Unfortunately my customers wants to have colour pictures on thier CDs and DVDs, but this might be a good one to add to my offerings to customers. I did, however discover that GIMP have support for printing on CD/DVD. It has a template for it and it apparently works with Epson printers. Stylus Photo R200 and possibly the R300 and R800 also. I also discovered that the GIMP have another very interesting template. Open the GIMP, from the menu select File->New and then click on the Templates drop-down list. The CD template is near to the end, but the template ust above it gave me laugh. I have The GIMP v 2.2.9 -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
