Problem by printing with CD-LabelPrint in Canon Pixma MP500

Every time i'm scaning a jpg image and i choose the "CD-R Printing" i take the answer of the CD-LabelPrint "A compatible printer for printing CD media was not found"

  • Anonymous Sep 11, 2008

    Same problem here - installed CD-Label Print which comes with my Canon Pixma ip5200 onto my Vista PC downloaded all the latest drivers for this model as well as the latest download for CD Label Print and keep getting "A compatible printer for printing CD media was not found" so can't print onto my discs. Same message comes up when I try and use any of the other software that came with the Canon package.

    Printer on it's own works OK but I bought it specifically because it printed CD's.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

If you are as desperate as I was maybe this can work for you. CD labelPrint is not working because it thinks the printer is zoned for the USA. It thinks this because of a registry entry that doesn't seem to get changed even if you reinstall the drivers or reconfigure the printer onboard. Open regedit and search the registry for strings "Canon". If you find one that says something about Canon and a value mentioning "US" this IS your problem and salvation is near. Delete this entry, turn off your printer, uninstall everything to do with the printer including CDLabelPrint. Reinstall making sure to use the European drivers and make sure you designate your area as Europe in the installation dialogue and NOT the USA. When done, power the printer on and away you go.

If your printer is a US version, you may have to go here, choose your model and follow the steps.....

Hello all i have a canon pixma mp830 and i was trying to print a cd and every time that i put the disc in the slot and press print it tells me that there is no disc there for printing please help

I don't know this machine as such but I just looked at the manual and perhaps I should have put my glasses on but I did not see that you can print on or from a CD, compact disc (~5.25 inches in diameter). If you meant to say that you could not print from a compact flash memory card, small rectangular device about an inch in L/W and 3/16 thick, then you might not have the correct file type on there. You need to have jpg images on there not RAW or edited images with a non jpg format. Is the message really saying there is no disc or there are no photos in memory card? No photos could mean that it is empty or the wrong format.

You can download a user's manual from Canon if you need one.

Good luck!

My Canon Pixma MP500 is printing only black.

Hey, Sound like something is wrong with the color cartridge. Replace the color one and try again. If that fails you might have to replace the printer as it doesn't sound like the problem is software related.

A support tech at Canon suggested I try this.

find the file ImageCache.ic - I found it in application data folder in My Documents, delete it.

Uninstall CD Label Print, search for any other "CD Label Print" files or folders and delete them too.

Re-boot and re-install CD Label Print.

This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

Cheers
OM
