Default Anyone recommend an all-in-one CD/DVD printing printer?

Preferably wireless.

The Canon units are better machines with more features and better software,
but USA models require a firmware hack and you need to buy a disc tray off
Ebay. The Epson units are good quality printers, but a bit more expensive to
operate. Those are the only 2 real options. The HP models are inferior in
almost every way, especially the software and drivers.

Why not a lightscribe CD/DVD writer, instead ?
B&W, but is color really important for a CD/DVD face ?

I have a Canon printer that I use for that. Bought the tray that holds
the CD/DVD on ebay at a very reasonable price. The tray also came with
instructions on how to modify the firmware to let you select CD/DVD as a
media type. The option is already in the firmware, just not activated
on units sold in the US. Instructions for downloading the easy to use
software also came with the tray.

The results are outstanding, and fast. I have a Lightscribe DVD drive
too, and a bunch of Lightscribe DVD's but I'll never again use them for
anything that I wanted to really label. Writing to a Lightscribe disk
takes a long time, is black/gray on a bronze background, and the quality
is far inferior to printing in full color from the Canon pinter.
