Printing onto CDs

1) What kind of CDs do I get for printing my own designs/cover onto them? (meaning w/o the imprinted logos, etc. like Verbatim, Sony, Memorex). And, if there's no imprint on the CDs I would buy, how would I know which side is which? i.e. recording side versus print side.
2) Any recommendations regarding printers that would do this. What I would like is a printer/scanner/copier that would also accommodate printing onto CDs as well.

Hi,
The CD range you can find is almost infinite. I would go for Sony or Memorex.
Check out this discussion board, some people talk about different CDs you can use:

As for the CD Label Printers(their common name) here is a website with a couple well-known ones:

Problem Printing onto CDs from Photoshop CS5 - Canon MG6150 printer

I cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere!! I have a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer and have designed a CD/DVD label using Photoshop CS5. The proportions are all correct, when printed on paper from within Photoshop I can cut out the label and it fits my printable media perfectly.
The problem is printing directly onto the CD or DVD using the printer's CD print tray. I cannot get the alignement correct -- the label will only print halfway off the media or more, so only a small section of my label appears on the CD. I have tried various settings from within Photoshop's print options and none work.
How can I get my label design to print onto the DVD or CD? Any help is HUGELY appreciated.
I am running Mac OSX 10.6.5.

I was testing other Imacs running the same photoshop CS5.1 with the new printer drivers from canon and it prints. They are running OSX10.6.8. My new computer is running 10.9.2 and it will not print from photoshop. Is the driver not compatible with the operating system? Is there something to try other than saying the driver is at fault. Do I complain to Canon to update their driver to work? What is a work around?
Thanks,

Print t CDs on Canon direct from Photoshop

I'm looking for a difinitive answer to a problem that seems to have very little discussion on the web, at least that I can find: I want to print CDs on my Canon ip8500 and ip4300 printers directly from Photoshop. I've just moved over to 64-bit and Canon's CD Lable-print won't run, besides which I'd MUCH prefer to print from Photoshop anyway. Is there a plug-in, a work round, a clever trick?! Can anyone help?

There will be no message to load the disk tray from PS. That is why I suggested he stay with the free included software.
I suspect that warning is to not try and load the disk tray while the printer is readying itself for printing.
As this is the first statement in the manual;
Placing a Printable Disc
To print onto a printable disc, place it on the disc tray supplied with the printer, then insert it into the printer.
My quote was, "Not after you send the job from PS." I have not tried to print a DVD from PS but I have done many from Easy Photo Print EX. It may not even be possible.
However, you cited a good point, better to be cautious.

I am trying to scan a legal size document from my Canon printer onto my MacBookPro. It scans the document as a letter size.

I am having trouble scanning a legal size document from my Canon printer onto my MacBookPro. I have set the printer paper size option to legal size on my printer. The scanned document comes through as a letter size document after scanning. I do not see an option in iPhoto to change the paper size.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.

Experience has taught me that it pays to be very precise and specific when dealing with computers. Precisely and specifically, what you describe is impossible. It is impossible to scan a document (of any size) with a printer.
I surmise that you are using an all-in-one, ie, an apparatus which combines a printer, a scanner, and sometimes a fax machine, in the same device. That takes us to the next step -- the page size set for printing is used for printing -- it has nothing to do with scanning. It may be possible that Canon provides software which synchronises page sizes used for printing and for scanning, but we don't know what applications and drivers you are using…

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

Is it possible to install Solaris 10 without burning it onto CDs?

December 16, 2006
Hai!
Have downloaded Solaris 10 OS, x86, for downloading onto WINDOWS ONLY Platform - Solaris 10 11/06 Operating System. They are Solaris 10 11/06 x86 CD 1 to CD5.
I don't have a CD writer or DVD writer to burn the software onto CDs and then install it. Kindly let me know if it is possible to install the software without burning it onto CDs.
Best Regards,
Kartheek D. N.

Without a jumpstart server you would need to burn the DVD or at least the first CD, then you'ld boot of the first CD and install the initial OS. Once the OS have rebooted after the first install, you can install the software available on the remaining four cd's by mounting them with "lofiadm", "mount" and running the installer on the CD-images.
If you have another Sun system, you can create a jumpstart from the ISO files in a similar way, there is an infodoc which describes how to create an image from the first CD.

I am having difficulty installing my IP Printer onto my macbook pro.

I am having difficulty installing my IP Printer onto my macbook pro.
I have gone on system preferences and then on to add printer and put in my wireless IP address - which my printer is on, and the name of the printer but I dont think my mac is finding it. As when I go to print using that printer there is an exclamation mark in a triange in front of its name and it says the printer is busy when it isnt.
This printer is also installed on my other windows desktops as an ip printer and it works perfectly fine I am just very confused why it wont connect to my laptop and Im not sure what I am doing wrong. I have just been typing the name of the printer in in the format it is on my windows desktops
e.g. \\MASTER\Brother HL-2130series
and
FX Document Centre 236 PCL 6
Please help I am so confused!

Generally speaking, for IP printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly, you go to system preferences > Print & Scan, and click the + (plus) button. Most of the time the printer is found automatically.
If that doesn't work, click the IP pane, select "Line Printer Daemon", supply the printer's IP address, the queue name (usually this is optional), the name you would like to give the printer, its location (optional). For "print using", click "select printer software" and scroll throught until you find the appropriate driver.
When you are done it ought to look something like this:

Burning a set of pictures multiple times onto CDs

I'm trying to burn a set of pictures multiple times onto CDs with Lightroom. Using Export I can burn one set but if I'd like to burn another set I need to Export again and overwrite the existing files every time. Is there no way in Lightroom to burn another CD with the files that are already there?

The transfer is meant to be one-way from iTunes to iPod. Are the songs on the playlist iTunes Store purchases or were they ripped from your personal collection. If iTunes purchases, you should be able to transfer those from the iPod. Read the following doc for specifics:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
If not iTunes purchases, your best bet is probably to connect the iPod to the first computer and enable disk use on the iPod. Then copy the song files to the iPod's hard drive space. When you connect to the second computer, drag the files from the iPod's hard drive to your computer. You will then have to authorize the computer to play them. (You're allowed up to five authorizations.)
Post back if you need more help.

Where are the settings for printing onto thicker?

Hello.
On my new MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 I have not been able to locate the printer settings that allow one to specify paper type (i.e., paper thickness). I used this feature frequently on my previous MacBook as it allowed me to dramatically improve the quality of printing from my laser printer when printing onto various thicker paper stocks. I sooo hope it's still there and I'm just overlooking it!
Many thanks in advance,
Liz

A few things to check (apologies in advance if you have already checked these).
The default print dialog for many apps does not show the printer menus. For some you need to press the Show Details button. For others you need to press the Printer button on the bottom of the print dialog to access the printer menus.
Another thing to note is the driver. If you were using a different driver on a previous version of OS X, the new driver to support Lion may not have the same menus. If you can tell us the model of printer you have and possibly the version of that driver (this can be found in System Information > Printers) then we could download and install this driver and have a look ourselves.

Replacement for Photosmart Premier to print on CDs

I recently moved my Photosmart 5160 to my main Windows 7 computer, downloaded the drivers and was able to print photos. But I used this printer to print on ink jet-printable compact discs and the software that HP offers does not print on CDs as far as I can see. What can I use in the style of Premier?

Hi SnowBird43x80. It does appear the HP Photosmart Premier photo editor is not available for Windows 8.
The replacement software is called HP Photo Creations and is available here:

Print on CDs with Epson R800

I was able to use 'Epson Print CD' to print on my cd/dvd before but since I pluged the printer in my Airport Extreme, I can't use the Epson Manual feed to print on cds. I tried to plug the printer directly in my PowerBook, delete the Manual driver, but now I can't reinstall the Manual driver.
Is it just not compatible with OS 10.4.4?

I sent an email to Epson and this is their reply, for those who might have the same problem. I was able to install the manual printing driver for my CDs but the manual printing doesn't work when the printer is pluged in the Airport Extreme. It has to be pluged directly to the Mac.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.

There are several ways you can go about this.
1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
+Inspector > Metrics > Position+

How can iCal print onto A3?

I used to be able to print a month of iCal onto A3 to post my calander on my door. Since upgrading to 2.0.3, this is not an option. Is there a way round this?

From the Size is drop-down list, select the paper size that matches your needs.
From the Source is drop-down list, select Tray if it is not already selected.

How to print onto a legal size paper

I'm trying to print a document sent to me as an original PDF 8.5 x 16 document onto a legal size page (8.5 x 14). I don't have the advanced skills necessary to print in Adobe beyond the basics, and don't have the time to take a course or read the confusing help instructions (e.g., "tiling", "scaling"). I'm hoping someone on this board can simply tell me how to print this document step-by-step. I have Windows XP with Acrobat Pro 9.0
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Using AA9, these are the steps I just used to create a 8.5X14 page from another PDF (Note: any bookmarks and links will be lost and would have to be replaced):
1. Opened the PDF in Acrobat.
2. Select FILE>Print
3. Select the Adobe PDF printer.
4. Select printer properties.
5. On Adobe PDF Settings tab, you may select the press (Press Quality) or print (High Quality Print) job options.
6. On either of the other tabs select the Advanced button.
7. Under Paper/Output>Paper Size, select Legal.
8. OK back to the print menu and select Page Scaling=>Fit to Printable Area.
9. OK to print -- select the file name and location, hopefully with successful results. (I checked the PDF I created from a Letter size and it was 8.5X14)
