Thanks. I stumbled onto this site by accident about a week ago and have found it very informative and helpful. I just wish I could contribute as much as I learn from you senior members.

@FiremanDB, just keep reading as many threads as you can and in no time you'll be on your way to helping others.
As andmerr said, Senior Member just means that they have reached a number of postings, doesn't mean that we have more knowlege than anyone else.
Just been around longer. There is still a lot to be learned from the Newbies right through to Mod.

Hey everyone and HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got through another happy and in good health - doesnt get any better than that!

-----------------------------

Ok, so I am catching up on the last few pages posted ... and now I know why I cannot find the canon pixma that you all are always raving about!!!

It wasnt until firemandb (thanx) came in the thread that made me realize I am searching for something that does not exist where I am - within the last few weeks I HAD decided that I would look for a disk-printable printer and every pixma I found did not have the capabilities of printing to disk, and the only ones I found that did were the Epsons. *L* Well, I am wondering what I can find on newegg or something.

Looks like I need to start looking towards the epsons now!

Thanx for the heads up gwen.

---------------------

Hey andmerr how-is going! I havent seen you in a while but you know my schedule leaves me in and out here and there! I hope you celebrated well.

Hi andmerr and Zazzle, apparently in the US they are available but NOT with the DVD print feature according to FiremabDB.
Quote:
Being extremely curious, I called the Canon technical support line and was told that this feature was not available on the Canon Pixma 4000's that were sold in the United States. Apparently only the models that were sold outside the US have this capability.
That's one thing we have up on the Americans!!

I am using the same printable discs as you (verbatim datalife plus) and i just don't like the quality, i guess they are considered matte correct? Are there any companies that make reliable discs that have a glossy printable surface?

As previous, I use white Verbatim ink jet printable, the results I achieve are excellent.I know of others who use the silver discs, also with good results.
Nowhere do my discs say Datalife

Gwen:

What software do you use, cdlabel print? As i said it still prints off center, even though i can play with the MM settings and if play with it too much it'll throw the printer off completely and it'll print like half its weird. Isn't there a way to configure the canon printer's alignment for cd, was it posted in this thread, i don't remember, but someone linked to it.

@Gwendolin

Ok, i was trying to do a backup of four brothers, i already own it but i backup all my dvds and put them in seperate places just incase someone spills water, a fire starts etc or who knows, i live with alot of people who screw my stuff up.

Anyway the pictures below are what it looks like in cdlabel print than what it looks like when printed, as you can see it does not line up, any suggestions here?
