I just bought a new Canon printer to replace my old Epson R200. But now I feel very disappointed because I have tried to print to a CD with the software included and also with Surething Disc Labeler Gold 6, but it does not matter what I do, the printer does not accept to print to CD and asks to close/remove the cd tray and print to paper. It wants to print a CD label, not print to CD.
Printer settings in Windows 7 settings::
Media Type: Printable disc (recommended)
Printer Paper Size: Disc Tray G
Paper Source: Disc tray
Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX settings:
Printer: Canon MG5300 series printer
Target Item: Standard disk 4.7"
Paper size: Printable Disc
Media Type: Printable disc (recommended)
Paper Source: Disc tray
Surething Disc Labeler settings:
Print Using: CD/DVD Printer
Disk Type: Canon - Standard Face (tray A, F, G)
Printer: Canon MG300 series Printer
I had just printed the alignment sheet and the test page from Windows, so the printer is NEW
Has anybody has had a similar problem, or any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hello CanonMG4320.
It may be possible that the disk tray has not been inserted correctly.
So we can try to assist you, please document the exact error that occurs when the disk printout fails in the Easy-PhotoPrint program.

I"m having the SAME problem!!!!
It used to work fine.
Whenever things come with a special program it's bad news.
So, I use Easy Photo Print Ex, just as this person did, selecting Printable disc and my printer continues to want me to load paper in the back. Typically it says open up the middle tray and insert a disc. Not any more!!!
I'm following the directions to the letter!!!!
HELP!!!!

Also, it isn't the disc tray. this person, and I both have not gotten to that part because the machine won't invite us to insert the tray.

I had the same problem.
Solution:
Make sure the inner door is closed (don't insert disc tray before attempting to print).
Then click on print to disc (with whatever program you happen to be using).
Now it will tell you to open the inner door and insert the disc tray.
On mine, I had to insert the tray all the way in (inserting to match the arrows didn't work).
The printer then aligned the tray the way it wanted and printed the disc.

I have the same problem with an apple mini..
Error message indicates "Printing cannot be executed becaus a printer supporeted by this software is not installed."
I have downloaded the drivers, and software several times. After each installation the same message is shown.
I have always been able to print CD's with this printer, what happened?
I need this abiliity for my business and if it cannot be made to work there is no point in my owning the Pixma MG5320.
WE NEED HELP!!!!
thank you.

Make sure the Mac Mini and the Canon printer are on the same network. (I use two wireless networks for my Mini and have to remember to switch it to the network where the printer resides before I try and print)
11-13-2013 05:15 PM
All are on the same (only network) and everything else prints properly, however much more slowly than earlier.
