Is there a way to check for Lightscribe capability?
Not that easily, to what i know. You can use the (GUI) tools at http://www.lightscribe.com to check whether your drive supports it. Or for commandline .. as there also is a SDK with a documented API a simple tool for this could look like the one i just yet wrote and attached (be warned, i have no such drive and so this not tested at all .. just some codepeace of crap that _could_ work .. at your own risk of course ;-). But you'll still need the SDK and system libs installed (from lightscribe.com) for this to work/compile. If this works for you.. and there are more interested in a commandline tool like this (that also may get extended a bit to check for capabilites like color or monochrome printing etc.) i might build a rpm in the openSUSE buildservice from it.. so, any feedback is appreciated (as always ;-) Have fun, Frank P.S.: Please no flames for the codequality.. i know its crappy. I haven't written C++ for ages (at least it feels like that).
