LightScribe Labels

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer
Windows Vista 32-bit
HP Photosmart C8100 is enable to print directly on CD/DVD (massage in HP Photosmart Essential 2.5)
No changes (not working from beginning)
As I can not get information anywhere else I would ask: Is it possible to print LightScribe Pictures Labels (sent to C8180 printer, using WiFi network, from my Laptop) I can not use HP Photosmart Essential 2.5 to do this, as this program show me every time massage that my C8180 is not capable to do this. I can only print LigtScribe Labels directly from panel of my C8180 printer (only simply one - just letters).

Are you referring to regular CD labels?
LightScribe is a special type of disc and CD/DVD burner to burn the label directly into the disk rather than printing on it. LightScribe is completely separate from any printer.
Try reviewing HP's LightScribe site for more information.

Need Lacie LightScribe labeler software for Mac

I just purchased a Lacie LightScribe DVDRW with USB 2.0, and the lame people at Lacie decided to not give me a copy of their Lacie lightscribe software (after I kindly asked them) even though it would (according to them) work perfectly well with my USB 2.0 drive. For some unexplained reason, they would only bundle the software with the Firewire version of the drive.
So anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some place, or can "give me" a copy of the software.
I hate to purchase another Lacie drive just to get this software... which is kind of what the Lacie support rep hinted me to do ......

Yi,
Of course the drive works with the Mac.
However, continue down the page, and you will see:
"Mac software not included"
It is less expensive, as it does not include the licensed Mac software. Some people already have the software.
So, you may ask, how can I use the drive with my Mac then?
- the drive will work for burning data CDs and DVDs on the Mac after installing the Disc Burning Profile for 10.3.x and 10.4.x; drive will work with itunes, iPhoto, and Finder to burn discs. This profile is a free download at our website. It will NOT provide LightScribe labeling capability.
I am sorry that this was not clear to you; I still recommend that you exchange the drive for a model compatible with your computer, or return for a refund.

After burning a audio CD, the Create LightScribe Label window does not show

I found burning a LightScribe label after burning with iTunes directions. It says that iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler. After burning the CD, a Create LightScribe Label window is supposed to appear. It does not. Why? Help!!

No one answered his question. On HP it says:
Creating a LightScribe label with iTunes
iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler to conveniently burn labels on a data CD or audio CD from iTunes. The playlist you create in iTunes to burn a disc is automatically imported into Express Labeler so that this information is available for you to use on your LightScribe label.
NOTE: To use Express Labeler from iTunes, the data or music tracks in the playlist your are using must fit on a single CD.
Click Start, All Programs, iTunes, and then click iTunes again.
Burn a data or audio CD with iTunes. When the burning process is complete, click Yes on the Create LightScribe Label window.
Make sure that Disc Label is selected in Step 1: Select Project.
Select a label template by clicking the left or right arrows next to Layout and choosing a layout.
NOTE: The various layouts show different amounts of playlist information. Some show only the playlist title, others show the playlist title and track names. You can edit the playlist information by clicking Disc Title to open the Edit Disc Title window.
Click Tracks to display the Edit Tracks window. Click New to display the Track window. Enter text to identify the first track or file (you can optionally enter artist and date, or length), and then click OK.
Repeat step 5 for each track or file on the disc.
Click the left or right arrows next to Background to select design elements for the disc. The selections you make are previewed in the disc window.
NOTE: If you use a color image, LightScribe burns it as a greyscale (monochrome) image.
When you are satisfied with the appearance of your label design, insert the LightScribe disc (label-side down) into the disc drive tray and then click Print.
From the Disc Label menu, select LightScribe 12cm Disc.
Select a Contrast Level and then click OK to begin burning the label. The estimated time to complete the label is displayed, along with a progress bar. You can continue to work on your PC while LightScribe is burning the label.
NOTE: A sudden bump or vibration of the computer during the labeling process may affect the quality of the label.
His question is why this does not happen. What version of iTunes are you using? Is an upgrade to the newest version needed? I woul dlik eto hear form others who use lightscribe with itunes and how they do it.

Burning CD Labels from ITunes to LightScribe Label

Evidently one can't print CD Labels directlty to a LightScribe Labeler
Anyone have a CD Labeler Software to recommend that will do the job. I'd like to burn the ITunes generated artwork and song lists LightScribe CD's but don't know how.
Gateway GM5420 LP Lightscribe CD Burner

I appricate you response but i have been trying different things for days prior to my post and updating itunes to the latest version and using 2.4 was one of them and i'm sorry to report this didn't help. The files that were encode with itunes that do allow songs to show up on the 360 were using tag ver. 2.3 so i didn't expect this to help.
iTunes is doing something to the files that it encodes. However if i burn the non iIunes encoded MP3's to CD-R and then let iTunes rencode the files back to MP3 again it still doesn't work. Seems as though there is something missing in these non iTunes encoded files that rencoding will not correct. This is what needs to be solved so i manully add this inorder for these files to works as the iTunes encode files.
Thanks

How do I Create a LightScribe Label ?

That's an HP specific tool. Maybe call HP Customer Service to see if it works if you use iTunes?

4L (LaCie's LightScribe Labeler for Linux) : advice wished!

As K3b Founder Sebastian Trueg said, "We're happy to see that LaCie is developing tools for Linux users, and are pleased to work with them to make it happen. With the LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux, [Linux] users now have access to the latest disc-labeling technology from LightScribe."
http://www.k3b.org/
I'm making the PKGBUILDs but some advice on the process would be helpfull
So far, installed with those PKGBUILDs, 4L-gui launches on my Arch (but seems to lack some functionnality) and 4L-cli segfaults even if it prints the options.
_Be aware that those PKGBUILD are not finished yet_

Yeap, it seems using LightScribe on Arch may be a little more complicated than just to put the .rpm's files into AL...
I think I missed some dependencies; may someone confirm this ?

Lightscribe Labeling technology

I presently own a Toshiba Laptop Model P775-S7215; Serial#: 7B352877K. My prior 2 computers have been HP Laptops and
both had Lightscribe Labeling capability. On my prior 2 HP Latops; for Lightscribe capability; I used a software
program called "Droppix Label Maker".
When I try to use "Droppix label Maker" for Lightscribe purpose on my Toshiba Model P775-S7215; Serial#: 7B352877K;
"Droppix Label Maker" WILL NOT even recognize my Factory Toshiba Dvd/Cd Player-recorder (Mat**bleep**a BD-CMB-UJ141EF).
(1) Does my Mat**bleep**a BD-CMB-UJ141EF have Lightscribe OR Lightcribe Equivilent capability?
(2) If answer to question 1 is yes; does Mat**bleep**a BD-CMB-UJ141EF require special Lightscribe Media CD's/DVD's?
(3) If answer to question 1 is yes; does Mat**bleep**a BD-CMB-UJ141EF require a special software program(s)?
I am using your Factory Installed "Windows 7 Home Edition" with SP 1 Installed AND all Updates; with 6 GB Ram.
Thank you.

Satellite P775-S7215
Lightscribe Labeling capability
As you can see from the spec above, your computer has Labelflash instead of LightScribe.
I believe it's Corel's Label@Once that you use for Labelflash on your model. This older document may still describe the process.

Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels

Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels on the lightscribe dvds ????

With appropriate software, yes, presuming of course you have a Lightscribe drive. The vendor of your drive should have provided software, but if not,. Lightscribe has it here:

though I don't know if it's compatible with Lion.

Why wont Lightscribe Labeler find my drive so I can print a label on theDVD

I can't believe it but I nearly at the end of making my first DVD. Now I have one hang up that should be seemingly easy. I have a Lacie DVD burner with Lightscribe and Lightscribe DVD discs. I burn the movie fine but now I want to put a Label on the DVD. I went to the Lacie Lightscribe Labeler - picked the photo wanted as background - selected print - but now it doesn't find a drive even though I hear the player revv up - noting comes up on the list and thus I can't print - what's up?

I'm having the same trouble. I have recently changed computers. I now have an iMac. previously I had an eMac and the lightscriber burner was hooked up to that and worked fine. Now on the imac it just comes up that it can't find the device. I have checked connections, installations.... If someone has the answer it would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks
!!

LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux released Oct 17th.

Some of us are missing LightScribe capabilities on Arch Linux.
Now "4L" comes as an RPM free (as in beer) & ready for Linux
The news is there : http://www.k3b.org/ (LaCie is a k3b support)
Press release : http://www.lacie.com/company/news/news.htm?id=10293
Download page : http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10803
I've never used rpm under Arch and will seek knowledge on rpm2cpio AUR package.
Anybody's willing to get on this ?

Use rpmextract to extract the files from the rpm. Then, it's just a question of installing the files in the correct place (in $startdir/pkg), i.e. binaries in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, etc.

Lacie Lightscribe Labeler Software?

Does anyone know if this software will work with Lightscribe drives that are made by other companies?

Hi-
The following is copied from the LaCie lightscribe software manual:
Hardware requirements■
LightScribe-enabled Optical Disc Drive•
LightScribe media (CD or DVD)•
PowerPC G4 500MHz or later, or Intel Core Duo
processor•
Software requirements■
Mac OS 10.3.9 or higher•
Mac OS 10.4 compatible (requires version 1.0.1 minimum)•
Note that "light scribe enabled optical disc" makes no reference toLaCieOptical Disks.
http://www.lacie.com/download/manual/lightscribelabeleren.pdf
In the past, I used LaCie Silverlining hard drive software on other makers' hard drives, with no ill effect.
The only thing that might cause you a problem (?) would be incompatibilities in the firmware of another makers drive.

Lacie D2 Lightscribe won't burn high quality labels

I just bought the Lacie D2 lightscribe drive. I had to update the Lightscribe Labeler software to version 1.1 to burn a label on the disc. I attempted to print a high quality image but the software said it couldn't without updating, however it gave me the option to burn a generic lower quality label which worked. Is there another update I should know about or should I buy a different program like Disclabel which supports Lightscribe for mac?

I suggest you have a look around here and contact support at Lacie on this page for a problem.

External Blu-Ray drive for HP Envy Lightscribe Issues

My HP Envy 13-1100ea came with an HP external Blu-Ray drive (HP Part No: 538333-001) which identifies itself as an Optiarc BD ROM BC-5600S. In the HP Envy 13 service manual it mentions this drive as having Lightscribe functionality but I cannot seem to get the drive to be detected by the Lightscribe Control Panel or any Lightscribe labelling software. I have tried installing the Lightscribe software (older version) from the HP product support page as well as the latest software and diagnostic utilities direct from the Lightscribe site but nothing has seemed to work so far. Has anyone had any success burning Lightscribe labels with this drive or have any advice that might get things working?

The drive has the following logo on the bottom plate:
Which looks quite similar to the lightscribe logo, although it's not exactly the same. The HP Envy 13 support page does not contain drivers for the optical drive and I can't seem to find a dedicated support page for the drive itself. I have tried uninstalling the default windows driver which it reinstalls when the drive is plugged in again. As I said before it has been communicated in various place that the drive features lightscribe functionality and I'd be pretty upset if it turns out it doesn't!

How do I use an HP dvd640 Lightscribe with my Macbook?

I have a 15 inch Macbook, 10.7 OS, 2.2 Ghz; and an HP Lighscribe model dvd640.
I downloaded Lightscribe's installation software for Mac at http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/index.aspx.
After installing, I can't find any Lightscribe application on my Mac, only the instal kit...shouldn't there be a Lightscribe labeling app now on my Mac? If not, how do I use the drive?

Hey biddily,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information if you are having trouble with an external display or projector:

Any current Lightscribe Software for Mac?

Hi, new Mac user here, just coming over from a Windows machine. and loving it!. Can anyone recommend Lightscribe software for mac. I've followed links on previous queries, but as these are a little dated, and the original HP ran site has closed down so I'm still struggling to find something suitable.
I know LaCie have some apps, but I'm assuming these only work with their writers.
I'm a wedding photographer so use Lightscibe all the time as my A2 printer wont print CD's and I hear a lot of bad stuff about the stick on labels damaging drives.
At the moment, I'm also looking to replace my desktop with an iMac, but need to see I can still have the same functionality first. Thanks

I find that Lacie's "Lightscribe Labeler" works quite nicely now that they have patched it to support Snow Leopard:
http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10061
Whilst that wasn't working following my upgrade to 10.6, I used the Lightscribe Simple Labeler:
http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/mac/index.aspx?id=852
The latter, as you'd expect, doesn't have many features and doesn't support full disc labelling.
That's using a Lacie D2 16x Lightscribe external drive connected with Firewire 400.
Hope that helps
