Printing a CD with Canon Pixma MP610

I'm trying to print directly onto a CD on my Canon Pixma MP610 printer. I have made a label in CD Label print and loaded the CD into the tray, but every time I try to print it I get an error message stating the inner cover is open. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it seems you have to have the inner cover open in order to load the CD tray...? Can anyone help?

Hi Lol
I recently bought the same MFP and have printed a couple of DVDs. I don't know what you are doing wrong, but have you checked the printing preferences before trying to print ? I forgot to close the inner cover after printing the DVDs and got the same message as you. Keep trying !!
BTW, 7dayshop.com has great prices for cartridges at the moment for this printer - about �3 per cartridge cheaper than anywhere else.
Good luck

Typical! I just bought cartridges from Memorystore.com - also very reasonable, but not quite as cheap as that! I have printed discs before and never had problems so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Hi again lol
Know this is probably teaching your grandma to suck eggs, but why not try re-installing the software and drivers to see if that solves the problem ?

Hi Lol
Know time has passed but just discovered the following message when orinting a DVD - "please wait while printer is prepaing to print on a printable CD, otherwise the tray will be ejected". First time I've seen this - don't know if you've solved your problem.

I got in touch with Canon who suggested turning the printer off at the plug and leaving it off for at least half an hour to allow it to reset itself. It didn't work though, so it looks like there may be a fault with the sensors inside the printer which tell it there is a disc tray loaded. I think it's gonna have to go off to the menders. I've only printed about 10 discs with it.
