Don’t listen to the clowns telling you you can’t print on CDs, or that you need a LightScribe burner. What you need are printable CDs! These have a different surface to normal ‘run of the mill’ CDs and the ink doesn’t stay wet on them for longer than about 30 seconds. (I am presuming here that you have a printer that prints directly to CD/DVD. I use an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and the results are excellent. You should find that printable CDs are only marginally, if at all, more expensive than regular CDs.)
Here’s a few sites that sell printable CDs though I’ve never had dealings with any of them. I buy mine locally, at a small, independent computer shop. (Just do a search for blank printable CDs for many more places.)

There are paper sheets with “stickers” for a lack of a better word. You print to these, and then stick it to the CD.
There are also CD Printers, for CDs with the right kind of covering. Are you using a HP Photosmart D5360?
Here is a link to thermal printers, expensive:http://www.supermediastore.com/what-is-t…
Here is a link to HPs site, maybe this is what you are using? This page has links to the kind of Media that will work for you. They are designed to be printed to. That is most likely your current issue. If the CDs you are using are your standard silver top, these are NOT the ones to use if you want to print to.http://www.hp.com/united-states/consumer…
Also, you can get a DVD/CD burner that uses lightscribe to burn an image into the top of a special lightscribe cd/dvd media.http://www.lightscribe.com/

Dude, I work as a computer tech so listen up. One, you need a printer that has the ability to print to cd’s. Two, don’t use just any cd, you need to make sure the ones you are buying are made to be printed on (it will tell you on the container).
Forget lightscribes, they are crap are are not what you want.

To print an image on a CD you need a lightscribe CD burner. Then you will need a special CD that can be written to.

how about you just download the pictures from the cd to your computer and print from there

i guess the printer that came with a cd slot must have its original ink cartridges so that it dries quickly.

I just use Lightscribe. It works for me, and I’ve never had a problem with any sort of mess.
That’s probably your best bet.

Don’t put ink on your CD, you moron. You’ll ruin the computer’s ability to scan it if you do that…
