More info?)
Update: This time I think I've got it
Select the DISK layout and at the top on the bar is a PAPER SELECTION drop
down box.
Click the box and locate the Canon i865 or 905 label print.
Create your design, and when you want to Print use
FILE > PRINT.
At the top of the Print dialogue you'll see an ELEMENTS tab.
Click that and check ONLY the DISK 1. It should show the Canon i865 layout.
The preview certainly resembles the disk in the tray ?? Then I think you'd
have to make sure
the disk is selected in the Printer Properties as well? I don't have the
disk printing option on my
ip3000...because it's not provided with NORTH AMERICAN CANON IP SERIES
PRINTERS!!
