Does this come with the lightscribe software as well?

This comes with lightscribe capability. You have to go to lightscribe.com and download the software and designs you want. It is free. Hope this helps.

Yes it does come with Lightscribe which works. I have burned a few DVDs and they came out quite nice. You will need the following information: After loading it into your computer, Click on Start. Scroll down to "NTI Media Maker 8". Click on that and then scroll down to "Jewel Case Maker". Click on "OK" re Regular, provided you are using a standard DVD. Then click on "Help Topics" under "Help". There you will find how to do what. Or, you can do as I did initially which was played around with "File", Edit", etc.

I installed this in Windows 7 with no problems. As you were previously advised-Go to LightScribe and download their software and I would suggest buying Sure Thing Disc Labeler 6 software.

From my research before ordering, it appears that the "v1" model of this drive had Lightscribe capability, while "v2" does not. There are a lot of complaints on various sellers websites from the transition period when folks ordered based on "v1" product descriptions and received "v2" drives.I ordered and received a "v2" drive, and it does not have any reference to Lightscribe anywhere on the box or case or in the manual. So, no; it does not currently have Lightscribe.

I got this to work with my MBP once with "Lightscribe Simple Labeler" software. From that point on, The Pawtec would not recognize ANY media inserted. Tried it on my PC and it was working 25% of the time. Overall, it wasted about 25-30 lightscribe discs with incomplete or very faint burns. HOWEVER, in answer to question: you will need to source Lightscribe software from somewhere online as it's not standard Mac software.

At this time, "Lightscribe Software" will not work with Windows 8. Hopefully, HP will correct this in the future.

This is the only model I sell that does Lightscribe and I sell quite a lot of them every month - I can't compare it to any other drive since this is the only Ligthscribe unit I sell - I do not sell Media but you can find various Lightscribe Media on Amazon - I have used brand name units as well as generic lightscribe disc - both seem to work fine

No. 'Lightscribe' media is a specific beast and getting harder to find.I should note that you can still burn CD's and DVD's as you would with ANY modern burner; however the 'lightscribe' feature requires you to use 'lightscibe' media.

Yes it works well with lightscribe but depending on the a art work you choose to burn, it can be time consuming. I have Windows 7 so this drive was plug and play. I prefer HP cds and dvds.

It comes with a light scribe software of some kind. I'm not sure what version because I don't use it. However, I'm sure it'll will work with windows 7 and 8. I have a Mac and needed to install parallels to enable the lightscribe feature. The only thing you need a computer for, with this machine, is for creating lightscribe menus. If you're simply duplicating DVDs, it works on its own.

You have to download the software from an HP sponsored site now. They bought the company. You should be able to google it. The original Lightscribe site does not work anymore.

I installed this in Win 7 SP1 with no issues. It didn't come with any software as a bare bones drive. If your having issues, the I would suggest going to the lightscribe web site and download the latest drivers for your OS if your having lightscribe burning issues. I didn't need any blu-ray software either.

No lightscribe and the included Cyberlink software is not what's stated on the box. No Power Producer included. Other mystery: The box and the unit label say it's v2, but Windows device manager and my burning software say it's v1. Waiting for an explanation from Memorex.

Yes works great. No problems and it's fast. You just have to download the light scribe software

Hi, Holly,Well, it's supposed to have the Lightscribe capacity. But I've never managed to burn more than have a disk label, so I wouldn't buy this counting on using that. Too bad, I miss having it. Working fine on my old LaCie DVD burner. If you manage to get it going I have a pack of 50 Lightscribe disks to sell-cheap.Also be aware it wants two USB ports.Cheryl

So you have to purchase a Lightscribe software in order for it to work with this unit?
