Does this printer print directly onto CD/DVD printable media as does the C309a?

NO it does not print onto printable CD/DVD printable media. I will now contact the seller who sold this to me and arrange for it's return. There are a few C309a's still out there so I may get one of those, or consider a Canon.

I am afraid I have no idea, as I haven't tried that. Please let me know if you find out!

These are primarily designed for 'replicators' or CD Publishing machines, which burn and print. However, there are a couple of office printers that have a special CD adapter that allow you to print one at a time with these CDs. Like this Canon printer Canon PIXMA MG5420 Wireless Color Photo Printer (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Also, you must have CD label software to design the label. I recommend Sure Thing Label Software.

You need an inkjet printer that comes with a special tray to hold the disk. The tray is then inserted into the printer for printing on the disc. Regular inkjet printers aren't set up for this. Printers like the Epson Stylus Photo R200 Ink Jet Printer (C11C546011) ($400) print directly on disk and it's sold here on Amazon. I've used this printer and it works fine if you're only printing the occasional cd or dvd. Another printer here on Amazon, Canon PIXMA MG6320 Inkjet Multifunction Printer - Color - Photo/Disc Print - Desktop is only $63, but I've not used it an can't speak to how it operates. If you're looking to print large quantities of discs, you'll want to look at the more professional printer like the Primera Autoprinter, also here on Amazon, for about $890. Hope that helps.

Yes to your entire question. Printing to CD's is very easy. The software includes an extensive help file.

I printed mine on an E[son Artisan 710 Printer and had no problems. Just like store bought DVD.

I'm pretty sure that the MG5520 does not have the capability to print directly to CD/DVD. So the answer would be No.

Yes, I always use my laser printer for CD/DVD labels. The printing is much more durable than the inkjet printer. I use the preset style "Laser Labels" in the printer preferences. These work perfectly, no problems and just as well as the Avery brand.

You must have a printer that has the ability to print cd's. I have an epson that does a wonderful job!!

I have a Cannon MG5320 printer that is capable of printing on a disc. No many printers do this.

Supposed to be but never got to purchase a printer that would print on cd/dvds. Fyi my burner detects these as ritek discs. But everyone worked

The CD or DVD disc must be printable. I have used an Epson R260 printer for 15 years and have made many hundreds of labels that require TIF pictures, coloring and design practice. In my opinion,it is the only way to go.

Does not print directly, except when making copies, then prints thru computer. All prints must be done thru a computer as is normal with scanners.

Yes, I agree with the previous answer. It seems to be paper only. I haven't found any info on it printing directly on a CD or DVD. (unless there is some kind of 3rd party adapter or modification, but I don't know of any). And this probably would void the Epson warranty.

I don't think so. To my knowledge there is no "slot" where you can insert a CD/DVD for it to be printed on. Obviously, they can't be fed through the paper shute.

I use a 730. It does great. I have printed about 50 labels (that's all I do with this printer), and still have the original ink cartridges going. I design my lables so they don't use a lot of ink, for example I don't do full backround with a solid color. Make sure your printer is set to CD/DVD Premium surface for the Aquaace Glossy. Also you may adjust the diameters on the Print CD Epson software. I changed them a little so there is absolutely no white left on the outside or inside. They look great!

First you have to have a printer capable of printing on DVD or CD printable faces. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R200, which has a special tray used to carry the DVD into and under the print heads. Most printer instruction manuals available online will tell you how to use your particular printer with DVD/CD's, if it is capable.

Based on the seller's product description, it should be. Also from the HP supply web page, both C309a & C309n are using the same ink cartridge. So if it works for my C309n, it should work for your C309a. I don't own a C309a, I can only give you a 99% accurate answer. Hope this helps.
