how to make printer printable on cd
To print on CD you have two main options: to buy a specialist CD printer, which operates like a paper printer but for CDs, or to modify a paper printer yourself to allow it to print on CD.  Please note that modifying a paper printer is a permanent step, thus it cannot be reversed later on.  For that reason, there is also the alternative of printing labels to stick over the face of your CD, if desired. It is worth noting that modifying your printer to this extent is risky, and should not be attempted on valuable or needed machinery, or by a complete novice.  To modify your printer, firstly you must remove the outer casing to gain access to the internals of the machine.  Locate and remove the mechanism for feeding paper from the printer, taking care to remove all attached cables and to avoid unnecessary damage. Locate and remove the black retainer and sensor wheel with a screwdriver.  Adjust the printer head, so it sits higher from the paper by slightly loosening the screws holding it in place. Reassemble the machine, ensuring that the gears are correctly aligned as prior to dismantling. Create and insert a 'caddy' from vinyl or cardboard which will sit in the printer and give the CD shape to enable printing on the CD.  It should have a housing sufficient to host a CD for printing Affix the caddy, and you should be ready to start printing CDs.
