I want to thank everyone who reponded to my inquiry. But I should have prefaced that I'm in the USA.

I'm looking to buy a new inkjet printer that prints color photo labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. This feature is common on many European printers, but in the US it's a rarity. Is Epson the only US company that makes these?

I read Epson owns (or owned) the "direct to disc" printing patent (don't know if their patent has expired yet). So other US manufacturers have not been offering the "direct to disc" printing feature.

I have a canon pixma that does it, it's a normal printer with a tray that you put in for that

So HP D5400 C5500 D7500
