 "K3B is quite buggy. This guy had problems with it on SuSE, last August:
Like many other Linux and KDE programs, k3b seems very well designed.
It has a nice GUI, but without the excessive bells and whistles
(bloat) that have come to characterize Windows programs such as Nero.
Everything seems streamlined, and it provides you with essentially all
the functionality you need. Just one problem: it won't work."

I did find that the Iomega Zip CD had problems some time ago, when
using Cd record:

Here is a linux review of it and it's operation:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=1604
EXCERPT:
Description:  The Iomega ZIP CD 650 is among the first CD-RW drives
manufactured by Iomega. It connects via the USB port, and has an
external power supply. It can use both the 650 MB (74 minutes audio
CD) and 700 MB (80 minute audio CD) CDs. No additional drivers are
needed to mount the drive under linux (kernel 2.4.x and above). A lot
of effort is required to mount it, if possible, under pre-2.4.x
kernels. The drive mounts as /dev/cdrom, or if you already have a
cdrom, it mounts as /dev/cdrom1. In the kernel, SCSI support, SCSI
emulation, SCSI-CDROM support, and USB support have to be enabled for
the device to mount (and function) properly. The device
reads/writes/rewrites at speeds of 6x4x4 under USB 1.1, while it is
52x24x8 under USB 2.0.
