One pleasant surprise was when I tested the Draft setting for printing: it was much faster and couldn't be distinguished from full quality. This with two photos on the disc and high resolution text.I don't miss the several Epsons (200, 320, and 800) I wore out before, all the feeding troubles, the long cleaning cycles and the accompanying absurd ink consumption.Hurrah for Canon!

Yes, it prints beautifully on a CD-R/RVD-R, but you need to buy a disc tray for this, available on eBay for example.Outside the U.S., this printer ships with this included, but not here.

I bought the previously mentioned disc tray on eBay and followed the on-line instructions for making the printer ready to print discs - removing a small plastic cover, reprogramming the printer ROM so the printer thinks it is European (accomplished by pushing various buttons in sequence), reinstalling the print drivers, and downloading a CD print program for the Canon Europe website. I had no issues, and it does print beautifully, but you need to have inkjet printable discs. There are different trays for different printer models. The iP4500 uses "Tray F." The tray acts as a caddie to hold the CD/DVD while it is being printed.

Where on ebay? or product name? I cannot find it and this feature, like with other users, is the deciding factor in buying this printer. I hate the peel off labels that jam up the CD/DVD reader. The printer sounds like a real bargain - and with the labeling feature, outstanding for my needs.

No, I do not believe you can use an Ink Jet Printer on these specific discs. GH

I made a CD tray: http://lh5.google.com/fixup77/R8OyC6siCZI/AAAAAAAAAMw/4QkfDEBzS-4/s800/CDTrayF.jpgI use Canon's CD-LabelPrint, downloaded from Canon Europe. I use the right reflector to fine align the image position and the result is perfect - cannot see any offset on the prints. CD-LabelPrint also let you to adjust the position.$99 bought from Fry's, CD and duplex printing, what more can I expect?

According to the specs on your printer you can print directly to printable CD's and DVD's. No reason this product wouldn't workand the color from the gloss finish on this particular DVD creates beautifully, plus it's one of the most reliable brands.Buy it you'll love it.

You can print the cd but you need the adhesive pages. Print the cd on it and later you transfer to the cd.

It print on cds pretty good, for as long you use the OEM Ink. My previous Canon printer head nozzles were damaged for using cheap non OEM ink. I have printed about 83 cds and dvds without any problems.

It only prints special black I'd cards. No disks. You can check with printer company if your model has the ability to print on special inkjet disks. Most require an adapter plate as special printer mode to print on a disk. With Epson they provide the adapter with the printer at the time of purchase. You can check manufacturer specs on the model printer for the option of printing on disks. Then do a search on amazon for the needed adapter. Which will print one disk at a time using special software for creating a layout for a disk. Most manufacturers provide that software on the driver disk that comes with the printer.

The ip3600 does not have wireless capability. It can be shared on a network using device sharing in Windows 7 and 8, but it must be USB connected to a computer on the network that is on when one tries to print to the printer. You will also need to have the drivers installed on each computer.

are you asking if the iP4300 can print in black & white, surely you're not asking that, maybe I have missed the full question, the iP4300 is a brilliant printer, able to print in Black & white, direct onto cd & dvd discs, automatic duplex, borderless, oh the list goes on, and you can now buy the CISS system which saves 's or $$$$$'s, whereever you reside

All the CD's or DVD's I have purchased. I have checked the specks. before I purchased. It will always advise on the techs of the disks if they are hub printable. I have never had much results on the hub printable CD's, even printing on several brands I have purchased. Good Luck & Have a Great Day!

If your printer can print on cd's, I don't see why it wouldn't print on these following the same directions. They are about the same size. Direct printing opens up another world of possible effects with these.

You will need to download the drivers for the Epson Stylus Color R280. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but from what I heard Epson made a change to the Artisan drivers that prevents them from printing a square on the CD/DVD disc plate. When you install the drivers, you will be able to select it when you print to the Artisan printer. It "might" work. Look it up on the web, there is a lot about this subject.

Canon has a program called CD-Label Print that makes printing on a CD or DVD quite easy. The software is free and there is both a Windows and Mac version. Once you set up your art on the blank CD template, you hit Print and it will automatically choose the CD printer tray. You choose the print quality, and then your printer will lead you through instructions on inserting the tray with the disc on it, when it is ready for it.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I have used 2 Epson Artisan 50 Printers & they work great on CD's or DVD's. I will probably purchase another Epson Artisan 50 when the one I have now stops working. It uses independent ink cartridges which are much less in cost. Thanks for your help

No, these are just regular disks. You can't print you can only write on them.
