OT +/- Direct Inkjet to DVD Printer Recommendation

Sorry for the slightly off-topic, but I figured many of you have a similar need. I wanted to upgrade my inkjet at home from an Epson i777 to something newer, QUIETER and that can print directly onto DVDs.
I know you can't beat Epson for quality, but the price of the ink is outrageous. I've bought third-party inks but the quality goes way down. Anyone have other brands that produce good quality with ink costs in the reasonable range? Not to mention the noise facto and the direct-to-disk printing.
Thanks for any opinions.

I have an Epson R200 (now replaced by the 220, I think) that I only use for printing panoramas and printing on discs (CD/DVDs).
I have other printers I use for most of my printing.
Printing on discs doesn't take much ink so the cartridges last a long time, and the Epson quality is great.

Printers capable of direct to CD/DVD printing

Can anyone tell me of the current inkjets/All in ones that do direct to CD/DVD printing on the printer.

Hi,
Currently there are no HP Printer which capable to print directly on CD/DVDs..
The Photosmart C309 was the latest model provided such capabilities.

Recomendations For Waterproof DVD Printer?

Hi,
I need help with getting the best reasonalbe priced DVD on disk printer? is the Ebson R800 the one of the best for color waterproof one? What about "thermal printers" for DVDs? and recommended prinable glossy DVDs?
Thanks Tim C.

I can second that recommendation for the Taiyo Yudens - they may be expensive but I've got reliable burns with these discs where all else have failed and the glossy finish looks good.
These discs work in any inkjet direct-to-CD/DVD printer - I use the HP Photosmart D5160 which is inexpensive but has appallingly poor supplied software - I use Photoshop instead.
Using this printer leaves faint roller marks over the glossy surface, however, although I've not yet tried to polish these after the discs have dried.

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!

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.

Direct Dvd printing with 8600

So I was wondering if it was possible to print directly to a dvd with the HP 8600. I have the middle one. So not the basic one and not the one that comes with the extra feeder. Does anybody know if I can print directly or if there is an attachment I can buy to do this?

No,
The HP Photosmart C309 was the latest HP model which supported drect printing on a DVD, currently there are no HP printers which offer this kind of functionality and a such cannot be added with any extra accessory.

Printer Recommendation

I have a big project coming up soon which requires printing directly onto the DVD. I know Epson has several printers that do this (R220, R300, R320 and R340) but I've only seen the R300 in action and it's awfully slow.
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced printer that can print directly onto CD/DVD and do it relatively quickly?

I've decided to farm the project out to a replicating service as I'm not really saving myself that much money by doing it on my own. What I am saving is my time.
But I am still curious about printers. I know about the Epson that can print directly to a CD/DVD but one review mentioned that they break down easy, print slowly and run out of ink very quickly.
Someone else mentioned the a Canon printer... the Pixema I think. But I can't find any reference to printing directly onto CD/DVD.
Are there any other good budget printers out there that can do this besides the Epison? If you use the Epison what are your thoughts?

C309a DVD Printer WILL NOT PRINT!

Has anyone tried suing HP for false advertising? I certainly will be after purchasing this abortion of a printer.
**bleep** that sales rep! He told me this C309a would be the perfect printer for my needs. That is, it would print perfectly and directly onto my 100's of DVD's. With ease no less!
Bollox! I knew I should have got him to prove it.
OK, now for my technical issue:
My C309a won't print to CD/DVD. I'm running Win7, have ALL the HP downloads, use HP Essentials to set up the disc for printing and have gone into the printer settings to change preferences. In Essentials I've done exactly the same at the PRINT stage.
I've then opened the CD/DVD tray. I've followed the instructions on the little animation, I've clicked on PRINT and the stupid piece of plastic gives me
CD/DVD TRAY IS OPEN ---- PLEASE CLOSE TRAY TO CONTINUE PRINTING
I've spent hours and hours trying to sort this. I've downloaded God only knows how much software, programs and ruddy updates. So now I'm at the end of my tether. This really is the final option.
Surely, please God, there has to be just one. Single. Solitary person out there in our great big World. Just one who has a Hewlett Packard C309a that really and truthfully, in perfect detail, PRINTS DIRECTLY TO A DVD!!!!!!!!! There has to be one, doesn't there? Otherwise HP wouldn't be allowed to even mention these pieces of rubbish?
The problem is of course, besides the obvious one I've already described here, is that the only consumers who come in to this HP Forum, are those with similar problems as myself and all they'll do is shake their heads, sigh deeply and say knowingly to themselves........... "I know exactly how the poor bugger feels"
Which is sad for me I guess because I guarantee NO ONE from HP will offer a solution to this that a) Works b) Doesn't require me to upgrade my whole system around there crap and c) Is just plain simple.
No, what I will get though are heaps of pop up messages asking me to fill in a form. I'll get pop up requests from HP every single bloody time I turn on my computer asking if I want to do a daily update, even though I specifically checked the NO DAILY UPDATES box during setup.
*sigh* I'm bone weary of all this, I really am, I just want a quiet life and to be able to print with a machine that says 'Printer' on the side of it. Either that HP or give me my money back, plus the cost of extra ink, plus my lost hours and the cost of the valium I'm now taking.
GOD **bleep** YOU HEWLETT PACKARD!!! GOD **bleep** YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!
(Apologies to Charlton Heston)
Footnote
I had to add this because it's just so funny and typical of HP. Even the daft Spell Checker on here wanted to replace C309a with Acacia BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hi I now have the same problem having downloaded Windows 7. This is the only option that will not work. Everything was fine on Vuse. I telephoned a help line number that HP gave, it was a tech doc, I paid £21 and was told to install new version of HP Photosmart, which I did, and guess what!! yes you've guessed correctly there is nothing on the Photosmart for dvd/cd covers or direct printing to dvd/cd. The only one that does that one that does that is photosmart 3.5. HP are very unhelpful and Microsoft as usual to not talk to other manufacturers when designing their Windows.
If any one out there knows how to solve this problem please help.
The only solution I have is that I use my laptop which still has Vuse on it, and I use that to print by wireless onto the printer for DVD's etc. Not very satisfactory but at least it solves the problem.

D7560 DVD printing - custom template or custom position of image

How do I create a custom template or custom position images in order to print a CD or DVD directly on my D7560?
I do not want to use any of the templates in Photoessentials, or at least I'd like to customize one to fit what I want to do. There is a "customize position" button on the "edit" page, but it's grey'd out and won't let me select it.
Can anyone help me with this? Do I have to create a template in Photoshop and just import that as the image or is there actually an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Brian

I'm looking for the same thing too. I had an Epson before & it had a great DVD printing program, full size, complete . This is crap. I'm on a mac. If I had know it was this bad, I never would have bought it. Any answere yet? Thanks.

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

TS1398 I have an iPad mini, because of my work network firewalls I am not able to use the airprint function to print. I was told you can direct connect to a printer. I am not sure how as I have not seen any cables for a lightning connection to a printer c

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.

After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.

Printer RECOMMENDATIONS/Suggestions

I would love one or all of your wireless printer recommendations.
I had an HP and it wasn't great. Now I have a Cannon PIXMA and the colors are pale and can't scan wirelessly and just doesn't interact well with the Mac.
What are your best suggestions for a wireless all-in-one printer?

I've had good luck with my Epson Artisan 810.
