Does this printer print on CD's. I am looking for a full color CD printer. Not a CD cover but actually on the CD?

No. The printer feeds paper or cover stock through rollers so the media has to bend. You need a printer designed to print on CDs. Or you can run Avery CD labels though this printer and then stick them on your CDs.

Some do. The particular seller I bought my printer from did not include the cd. I knew this and easily downloaded the drivers from HP's website. Just put in printer and computer platform.

Supposed to be but never got to purchase a printer that would print on cd/dvds. Fyi my burner detects these as ritek discs. But everyone worked

No, if any of the color cartridges are empty it doesn't print black (as in text). It doesn't print anything. p.s. Just happened to notice the black print option on the actually printer, and tried it out (the printing option is the only one that doesn't seem to respond to this option) but copying certainly did. Sorry for the incomplete answer.

Yes to your entire question. Printing to CD's is very easy. The software includes an extensive help file.

Is "plun" something like plug and use? I am not very tech saavy, but the instructions let me know that I did not need to install the software on CD in order to print from my iPhone and MacBook Air. That part works like a charm. I put the CD in a drawer just in case someone needs it -- which is unlikely. (The ink cartridges so far seem to have problems. I don't print often sometimes a few times in a day, other times only once in a week.) and the black cartridges seem to dry out.

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).

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

The printer comes with a CD software that has pre-loaded card layouts. It's not hard to use.

Yes, and no. When it gets low, you get multiple warnings on the printers color touch panel and your computers printing software. You are given the option to ignore and it will continue to print - however once any cartridge is really out, it will not print. The one exception is B&W. If a color cartridge is out, you can force print in B&W only - but this works only for so long - once two carts are very low or out - you will no longer be able to print. We always keep 1 spare of every cartridge, just in case - but let it run as low as possible, warnings and all. This really is a good office printer.

I've printed at least 1,000 CDs and DVDs using this printer with no problems unless one of the cartridges gets low. Then you'll notice color variations. Otherwise, if all cartridges are adequate, printing on printable discs are brilliant.

Yes. It only prints in black. The reason I got this is because if u print in black most of the time u use less ink versus the multi-color printers. Multi-color printer uses all colors even if u are printing in black only, therefor ink runs out quicker and its a bigger expense. Hope this helps.

this printer does not use color cartridges to print B&W-- at least not by default. If you are low or out of B&W ink the printer will ask you if you want to use the color cartridges to create black. This was a major selling point for me because I used to hate how HP printers required color to print B&W.

The printer does not come with ID printing software but it does come with drivers on the CD in order for the printer to be installed and listed on the computer as an installed printer.

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.
