your question is a little ambiguous...... you have some print on a white dvd? or do you have white DVD PRINTABLES!? Or you have white lables that you need help printing to them with your printer??? I can't make it out!
I'll assume that you have white inkjet printable DVDs and you want your printer to print on them....... well is your printer capable of doing that? I bought my Epson R320 for just that reason...... it was made to print on those white inkjet printables! It has a tray and you put the DVD or CD on the tray and with their program (or other program) you can print right on the disc! Hope that answers your question!

Nope. The epson stylus photo r series can print directly onto the disc.You place the inkjet printable disc onto a template and slide it into the special tray. The epsons can be found in the usa anywhere from $80-$140 depending on what fancy bells and whistles you want. I have the R-200. They also make the r-220/r-300/r-320/and r-340. You can find these at stores like samsclub/staples/office max/office depot/bestbuy/etc. Also,certain canon printers over here can be converted to print directly onto dvd. They say you can buy the tray at ebay,not sure what else is needed.
The r-200 does a very good job.I buy my ink at private.abacus 24-7. A set of 6 cartridges runs about $19. Cheap Ink,and it'll save you money in the long run.
Now over in Europe,they have canon printers that can print directly to disc.

I bought my printer last april. I'm on my 4th set of cartridges and ready to tap into the first of the 5th set. I do about 25 full hubs along with outer covers a month using the high quality settings.Those full size case covers really hog the Ink.
I also do cd disc covers.
I picked my dad up an epson-r200 last fall, which staples had on clearance for $50 after rebate. So I buy for both printers.
$55 for 3 sets,including shipping& Handling.
Take those empty cartridges back to staples and you can get a $3 voucher for every empty cartridge. That knocks the $19 a set price down to $1 a set after taking in 6 empties..
IHoe: I saw them there last week,but no 20% discount. Great price. I still have 2 full sets so I'm good to go for a couple of months.

Prior to being enlightened, I was using the paper stick on labels. I have since switched to Sharpie and printable +R with my epson R200. Very happy with this.
I have many dvd's that have the paper labels applied. Some play OK and some will freeze up. Just an FYI on this subject regarding the problems these labels cause.
Use this info to "salvage" the backup if you want, but mostly as a testiment to the problems they cause.
Last night I tried watching a movie and it froze 20 minutes into the movie. I spent 10 minutes scraping the label off, still leaving the tacky/sticky glue on the disc. Popped it back in the player and it played through flawlessly.
Don't use labels. That is all.

NO... Inkjet CD/DVD printing is only available with certain Epson models in North America and Canon overseas. There are mods that you can do on the Canon to enable CD/DVD printing on the US models, though, and you would have to buy the tray from an international vendor, also... The Epson is great!!!
