I have various Windows apps that (make to) print -1- labels for the
optical disk case -2- labels which stick directly to the optical (using
CD Stomper to position) -3- do LightScribe.

My personal preference for my usage is a Sharpie pen.

Does anyone know if there is such an app for Linux, and whether it will
run on older hardware (Dell Dimension 3000)?

Are you referring to (such as) LightScribe?

This is where I was asking him exactly what he meant, and I was asking
him because it didn't seem to me that he realized that you couldn't just
do it with any burner and any disk.

The tech requires a LS equipped burner and LS-tech disks and LS software.

... so I explained.

There is Win, Mac, and Linux LS software at the LS site if you have the
other ingredients.

The competition is LabelFlash and DiscT.

Mike, as I suggested to Alias just now, do you think you might be
missing some of the clues re your recommendation here (I may turn out
to be wrong in my assumption of course).

I was seeing insufficient clues to be really sure if he understood what
he was looking for.

The clues for me were the mention of 'rather than having to label the
case' and that the 'she' was a 'Windows user' so (probably) wouldn't
be using something as specific and unrewarding as Light scribe.

I don't know what you mean 'as specific and unrewarding as Light scribe'

Also he mentions an 'app' for an older PC, when the limitation would
be if he had a LS burner but he may not realise that of course.

It is less clear to me what you are talking about than what /he/ is
talking about. Are you referring to anything in my 1, 2, 3 above?

We will see. ;-)

I see from another post that you apparently are thinking about, for some
reason, a windows app that prints CD Stomper type labels.

Linux also has a number of apps which can print those labels.

Your DVD optical drive needs to support LightScribe. If it does,

it

should have a logo on it that says "LightScribe".

Do you think he is talking about that or just printing directly

onto

white label / printable media?

If it is the latter I can't help re Linux but my Canon ip4000

allows

you to print directly onto a CD via a carrier and came with a

Windows

app for doing so. You can also download it free (Crankypuss) ;-)

Reread the OP's post. No label. Directly onto the disc.

'Rather than the case'

And why would 'directly onto the disk' suggest LS rather than
'printable media' (I never mentioned labels) to you?

Cheers, T i m

"directly onto the DVD platter".

Yes ... and?

You didn't even get it the second time
you read it.

Reading something that you understand could have two meanings doesn't
make it any clearer no matter how many times you read it?

Tell me, how would ink printing to a 'printable DVDE' not be 'directly
onto the DVD platter?

This is in comparison (the OP writes) with 'rather than having to
label the case'. So in that reference the 'labeling' wouldn't be of a
LS type but done by hand or printed etc.

<snip illogical and therefore unnecessarily abuse>

Cheers, T i m

You are guessing at what he meant.

Yes. But with some sort of 'intuition' or 'feeling'.

I am going on what he actually wrote.

Impossible.

Now, if the OP had used 'burned' or 'written' rather than 'put' ...
and had he not mentioned the case I might be thinking more along your
lines.

I guess we will have to wait and see what the OP says eh (and you may
well be right, just saying like ...). ;-)


Cheers, T i m

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

This would almost be funny if it wasn't so goddam pathetic.

Two retarded feebs arguing over something that is very clear.

Fuckin dumbasses.

For the record, the Aliass dimwit is correct.

I was seeing insufficient clues to be really sure if he understood what
he was looking for.

Likewise, however, from the few clues he did give I was erring towards
'printable media', rather than LS.

The clues for me were the mention of 'rather than having to label the
case' and that the 'she' was a 'Windows user' so (probably) wouldn't
be using something as specific and unrewarding as Light scribe.

I don't know what you mean 'as specific and unrewarding as Light scribe'

'Specific' as in 'specifically LightScribe and 'unrewarding' as the
results you get fore the effort when using LightScribe over (of you
like that sort of thing) directly printable media or even sticky
labels.

Also he mentions an 'app' for an older PC, when the limitation would
be if he had a LS burner but he may not realise that of course.
