It shouldn't be hard
 1-create image for your cd label with some paint program 2-insert in printer one printable not simple compacat disc 3-use the softfare program,which i think u did get with printer 4-print  I know this will not help you much but I think important think here it is to choose right CD type. It should be called "printable" otherwise the paints will not soak to CD label surface |

You could buy a CD labelling kit. One of the most popular is called CD Stomper. Have a look for it in a computer shop, they only cost a few pounds and come with about 20 labels and all the info you need, including some software to design them.

My computer has a special drive and that lets you save to a disk and then print on the disk.

That is the Phillips drive I'm guessing or some derivative, you need speacial CDs designed for that. They have a front side that is coated with a speacial material so when you flip the CD and use the program supplied you can burn images to the front of the CDs. I haven't seen those discs anywhere so I don't know how useful that drive really is.

You can get special discs that have a plain dull white cover on one side, mine say Inkjet Printable on the cases...
Ive never tried printing on the discs as Ive never known how but I just use a CD labelling kit. You can pick them up for pretty cheap from most stationary shops and you just put them in your printer, print the label onto it, then stick it onto your disc. Job done

Printing on cd is very easy if you get a cd labelling kit. It's cheap too. It comes with a very easy to use software and the paper thats the perfect size for ur cd. After buying that basically all you have to do is install the software and open the pic ture that you want, and put it here you want it and it does the rest by itself...it's really easy.

I use an Epson R200 which has a special cd printing tray. As long as your lexmark has the same capabilities (too lazy to google it), you just have to get Printable CDs/DVDs and follow the instructions that came with your printer.
I get much better results on printable cds than you do if you go the labelling route. |

Buy paper for developing film, before you take picture. It is important'n stupid. But you must follow this instruction.
