I hate buying new stuff for my computer, but if something breaks then it has to be replaced. And wouldn’t you know it; my old printer went on the fritz. It’s a darn shame too because I had just replaced all of the ink cartridges like a week before. Of course that thing didn’t just take one or two cartridges, it took five! Plus, when you go to buy those things it is like highway robbery!

So off I went to the computer store where I had to choose from a smattering of what seemed like hundreds of printers. I don’t need some super high dollar printer, but I do need one good enough to print good quality photos. Speed isn’t really an issue because I’m not doing any volume printing (reread my cartridge prices rant above). So I got one that fits my needs and took it home.

It came with a special tray and a blank printable CD. OK, I thought, this is a pretty cool idea to do CD printing! So now instead of me being a manual CD labeler using stickers, I have a special CD printer! It’s so cool because I can download the CDs from i-tunes, then print the album cover right onto the CD itself. Really, it looks so much better than scribbling on the CD with a magic marker.
