I agree with Mike. Lasers use heat to print directly to an object. No disk will accept direct printing from a laser printer. Printing on labels is always dodgy as they can peel back and need a stomper to get them centred and balanced correctly. Ink-jets are cheap and most that are made

If you don't want to print directly onto printable DVD's the dymo labelwriter has an easily applicable disc label. See labelcity.com.au Cheers. Sent from my iPhone On 21/02/2009, at 18:46, KEVIN Lock kal...@iinet.net.au wrote: We have a HP Photosmart D5360 and I bought a printing programme

Wondering if someone has already invented this wheel - I'm trying to avoid spending hours on it if so. I'm fairly sure it'd be a piece of cake for someone familiar with it. As you'd know, you can double-click on a word in most documents to highlight it, and then right-click that word to

Hello Martin Please be aware that some early iMacs cannot support Target Disk Mode. There is a list of the capable machines here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 . There are other ways to do what you want though. But I suggest you solve the T mode dilemma first. Regards Greg Manzie
