The Epson 2100 (Europe) is a good A3 pigment ink photo printer that will
handle CD's but I don't think the USA model 2200 comes with the CD printer
tray.

I also heard that the 2200 in the US does not include the CD tray, so better
check it out first. The 2100 has both the CD tray and the gray balancer. The
PM4000-PX in Japan has the CD tray but no gray balancer, and I was given to
understand that the 2200 includes neither.

A very stupid decision for which they have been roundly criticized.

I've read elsewhere that the reason they do this has to do with
patent rights. They supposedly would have to pay royaltees to
somebody in the U.S. if they included their cd printing version
in the U.S. -- and they don't want to, presumably.

This is nearly a "rumor" at this point, so take it in that vein.

they wouldn't have to pay any royalties to include their gray balancer,
though...
