Printing on CD: Can someone confirm if the feature is installed or if we are again left aside?

The feature is NOT included on US models. However, if you can get your hands on one of the printing trays (eBay, etc..) you can download the european drivers and print to cd/dvd (s).

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

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.

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.

Yes, I agree with the previous answer. It seems to be paper only. I haven't found any info on it printing directly on a CD or DVD. (unless there is some kind of 3rd party adapter or modification, but I don't know of any). And this probably would void the Epson warranty.

Up to date drivers is a good idea. Also, when you click on "print", a square menu comes up. Make sure the right printer is identified and then click on "Properties". then on the tab titled "Main" if you are not already there. You should see a line of pictures suggesting draft, text, etc. Click on "Text and Image". That should work. I had to specify with each printing for a while, then it got the hint that I wanted text and image.Good Luck!

The last spindle I received (and to the best of my knowledge, also the previous one) have CDs with a matted finish (dull as opposed to glossy). We have had no problem printing on them with either the Canon or Epson inkjet printers.

I have not used this printer, but I thought I would add that you MUST have the slightly more expensive "printable CD/DVD's" (you can't print on just any CD/DVD).

If you had the printer drivers previously installed, I'd say Yes. If the driver isn't loaded, you'd still have to load up the driver. Worked that way on my client's machine running Win 7.

If I remember correctly, in that edition there is a pdf print driver included with H&R that is installed when you install the program. When you choose print, look for the printer in your printer list.

Does your printer come with a cd printer. You have to download the software that came with it. Then you'll have the templet to design your discs and print on them.

I got the printer long time ago, I do not remember exactly, but I put the CD comes with the printer in the computer and I followed the steps, the steps will lead you, but I do not remember the steps exactly.

The only thing I can think of without knowing how your printer is set up, is to go into "Control Panel" on your PC, select the icon that represents the printer, and you should be able to double-click on it, and see it's status. Sometimes it works just to select it, other times you can look at options or status and change it from offline to online with a click.

As far as printing directly onto CD/DVD's, with the MFCJ825DW, it's a snap to do. You need the NewSoft CD Labeler software which is available on the CD that comes in the software package provided with the printer. (There might be a small upgrade available, also, from the software company. Use Google search). You also need the proper kind of disks for the printing. I am using the Verbatim disks that are called Inkjet Printable White, Hub Printable. They work great! The cd's will cost you about $0.36 each (50-pack) and the DVD's will cost you a bit more (bought thru Amazon). The cost of ink is extra, and dependent on your design (leave as much white space as you can). There is a lot of simple power in this printing software, especially using the "import" feature. You can import all kinds of images, backgrounds, etc., with a little of playing use Google "Images" or photos, etc. If you want to reach me, pfournier1@gmail.com
