Canon i965 - only prints half of a CD !?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I tried to print my first CD-R today - followed the instructions
carefully...

1. Slid in the tray feeder until it clicked.
2. Pushed in the slider on the feeder.
3. Put a CD onto the CD-R tray
4. Slid the CD-R tray in to match the white arrows with the ones on
the tray feeder unit.
5. Print.

It takes the tray & disc all the way into the printer, starts printing
but then only prints the top half on the CD (*exactly* half). The
half that does print looks great!

Anyone know what's going on!?

Thanks for reading...

Allan.

Just Allan,
I have found that rebooting the PC after a software or driver installation,
even if the installation process doesn't require it, as very prudent. I also
reboot PC, after removing software, again even if the removal program
doesn't require it.

At the very least, "it couldn't hurt".

Ok - as usual, I found the error not long after posting a request for
help! [sigh!] Not sure what it was, but I tried downloading a
software update from Canon (which didn't fix it). Later I restarted
the computer - and it now works. Go figure!

It's a GREAT printer by the way... I printed a "cheap & nasty"
printable CD and it looks like it was produced by a professional
manufacturer. (Much better print quality on a CD-R than on paper.)
Now if Canon can only start using waterproof ink - they'll bury Epson
for good (and what a wonderful day THAT will be). }: \

nope
I have the i905D
and it works fine, only thing I can think of is
you have the CD in the circle on the Cannon Software program
