How to print direct onto CD/DVD using HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer?

Hi,
I have spent my day attempting to find suitable software to design and print DVD covers direct onto the printable DVD surface.
My HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer has the ability to load DVD/CD into it for printing directly.
I have tried using the HP PhotoSmart Studio software and iWinSoft Label Maker but haven't paid for it yet as I can't get it to print on the actual DVD.
They both try to print and look and sound as if they are printing but no ink ends up on the disc. I have genuine HP cartridges and high quality printable DVDs.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it as I need to print personalised covers on my wedding DVDs for the guests and get them sent out for Christmas!
I don't really want to spend more than £20 and preferably nothing of course!
Thanks in advance,
Bradders

Hi,
To print from your ipad, both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same wifi network. Once this happens, when you select the print option you'll see your printer.

How do I print directly onto an inkjet printable CD using a Pixma MX922?

How do I print directly onto an inkjet printable CD using a Pixma MX922? Does Canon have a template for disc labels?

Hi KSeghorn,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the My Image Garden program that can assist you with printing onto inkjet printable CDs. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Start My Image Garden.
2. Select the image you want to use for a disc label (CD/DVD/BD).
3. Click the NEW ART button and select the Disc Label (CD/DVD/BD) option. The Select Theme dialog appears.
4. Set the Theme, Paper Size and Orientation, then click the OK button. The disc label (CD/DVD/BD) appears in the Create or Open Items edit screen.
Note: The layout may not be as expected depending on the photo information or analysis results of the selected images.
5. Edit/adjust the items on the label using the buttons at the bottom of the window according to your preference, then press the PRINT button. The Print Settings dialog appears.
Note: In the Advanced Settings dialog displayed by clicking Advanced... at the bottom of the screen, you can set the print area. If Advanced... is not displayed, click the right scroll arrow button to display it.
6. Set the number of copies to print, the printer and paper to use, etc., then click the PRINT button to print.
For information on loading the printable CDs into the printer, please click here.
Hope this helps!

Printer for printing directly onto dvd's

Can anyone provide recommendations on a printer that will print directly onto dvd's and is compatible with the macbook pro? Best Buy recommended a cannon for $100 and he said it is wireless and compatible. Thoughts?

To be a little clearer, your printer may accept the disk for printing, but the page size will still be a paper size, rather than something that says "DVD" or "CD". The documentation for your printer should tell you what the settings should be, and how to adjust the placement of the image so it is centered on the disk.

Inkjet printing labels directly onto CD / DVDs

This is my second posting relating to this topic. I added my previous post to an existing thread and got no response.
I purchased a HP 5380 specifically because I wanted to print directly onto Inkjet Printable CD / DVDs. I was very disappointed with the software templates provided. Do HP have any plans to improve this situation? I am aware of various third party software that can be purchased but I do not want to go to the further expense and possible conflicts that mixed software often involves. I have access to a rival brand printer that also prints directly onto discs and the manufacturers software includes many good template options. If any HPers read this post I would appreciate advice as to whether HP are likely to provide any updates in the near future.

I have the same complaint. A new C5550 AIO and I can't believe those templates. There must be some additional software, adaptation or work-around procedure to allow you at least to create a text ox large enough to write more than a few words. I does anyone have any help to offer? Can you design a label in Avery or something and import it into hp's software?

How to burn AVI on a DVD using iDVD

Hello folks,
I have a number of old movies in AVI format. I can play these without any problems in QT on my Mac - I have Perian installed and Flip4Mac.
I open iDVD, then create a new project, add the AVI file, then iDVD starts crunching the file for a while (about one hour or so, depending on how long the movie is), then, when it's about to start burning it on the disk it quits with an error message saying something about 'error at multiplexing'.
I even tried to convert my AVI file into MOV (with this: http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-video-converter-pro/?run.mxconverter ) but I still have the same issue.
I know that I can burn it directly to a DVD using other programs (like Toast) but I am not willing to spend some more money for it. Ont he other hand, I want to add chapters and a simple menu, so that I can skip back and forth when needed.
To be noted that other projects coming from my camcorder are OK.
Any idea on how can this be acomplished?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming the movie is not copy protected, you might have better luck with this free download from apple's web site before adding the file to iDvd:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
An AVI is a container, not a format; no single component or method will work for all AVIs
If you need help using mpegstream clip then simply use the search field on the upper right corner of this page.
Hope it helps but if not just come on back.

DVD Printer (a printer capable of printing directly on a DVD)?

Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this question: has anybody had experience with DVD printers (a printer capable of printing directly on a DVD)? Is there a special kind of DVDs required for these printers? What printer works well, does anybody have experience with these?
A search on these forums brought no results. Also, I am not interested in label makers.
Thanks!
-Dima

Epson and Canon both have great ink jet printers that allow for dvd printing directly to the top surface (normally to a white surface dvd). For the past few years I've been using white surface Verbatim and a Canon Printer IP3000. Newer models do an even better job.

Does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects?

Hi there, does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects? I know that it needs to run through a buss somehow but I am not quite sure how. Need to Di a bass and want to keep the levels down using a compressor (recording strait into a Mbox with Logic 8). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you route your Bass into a channel in Logic and put plugins/fx on the channel plus you have monitoring on (and monitoring off on your external mixer) - you can record while listening to the effected sound. However what is being recorded is the clean/raw audio - this is a good thing as you can later change your compression/fx settings - printing the effect at this early stage is normally avoided.

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

You do not have an Airprint enabled printer. See the attached link for the most current Airprint list.
There are however, apps you can purchase, which will let you print via Wifi to your printer. Check out either Printopia or Print Central in the App Store. Both are about $9 and work well.

Hi,
Any of the printer you have mentioned do not support direct printing on CD or DVD.
Only limited models has provided this feature, combined within the printer hardware and not as a seperate accessory.
Hope that clarifies,

Printing directly on CDs/DVDs on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer??

I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium and was wondering if I can print on CD and DVD discs with this printer and How do I do this?? And if not how do I print on DVDs and with what HP product do I use for it??

HP does not currently produce any printers that can print on CD/DVD's which includes the 8600.
Take a look at the Epson XP-810.

How do I print directly from my iPad to wireless Brother air printer ?

We cannot print directly from ipad1. We have a new Brother pie print compatible (supposedly) printer, given as a gift, model MFCJ825DW. It prints nicely from my MacBook Pro through our home wifi network. The iPad, however, will not connect to the printer directly and print. I have to have the MacBook Pro running also in order to print, and then only through an app I bought off iTunes for $9.99. That app is very difficult to use as well (Pro Center...). Is there simply no way to connect an iPad 1 to print directly to this printer ? I have to take my Macbbk Pro to work, and this leaves my wife and the iPad unable to print. That was the main reason for getting the wireless printer! Am I going to have to buy an HP printer, and to they really allow you to print directly from an iPad? I have spent hours trying to solve this and have tried everything I could find, including Google cloud (unable to load Google Chrome on iPad), iPrint and Scan, etc. Can anyone help us out here, or are we just stuck with an Apple product and a printer we cannot effectively use?

Your printer is on the list of supported printers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
So it should work. I have not used a brother, but the drill for other airprint printers is:
Make sure the printer is on the same wifi network.
From the printer console, check for and install any firmware update that is available. Almost all airprint devices need the firmware up date. Do the update from the printer, not your computer.
Reboot the pad. Recycle the router. If it still is not working, goto the brother support sire and see if there is a discussion there that can help you.
