Re: [OM] OT: Printers

Thanks for the clarification. It's an entertaining tale either way :)  . I
am rather surprised that Canon don't just pony up and have a marketable
feature.

The hack for the Canon really isn't that hard or really even a hack to my
mind. It involves removing a cover of the slot for the CD tray and switching
the country designation in the printers service setup. Once the physical
stuff is done you just install the drivers and free software from the UK
Canon site and away you go. Oh and you can print to the CD tray from any
program too. It all very easy to do and totally reversible as a hack.

According to the story I located on the web it's not Epson that's the 
problem but Panasonic.  Panasonic supposedly holds a US patent on CD 
printing.  Epson pays Panasonic their royalty to be able to use CD 
printing in the US but Canon won't pay the freight.
