hi all,

i'm having a bit of trouble printing DVD's on my epson 2100,
i'm following all the insertion rituals and the printer keeps
ejecting them and giving me a "bad paper load" error.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i've only tried variations on the theme and
loaded different disks about 200 times now, can anyone help with
a suggestion (short of throwing it out of the window, ive come close
a time or two).

Hey Mark

I too have a 2100. I tried printing to cds twice. after that I went and bought a internal "lightscribe drive"

The lightscribe system works alot easier. You just have to remember to buy the "Lightscribe disk to print to.

We use an R300 at work to print disks and it can take up to 6 goes to get it to feed in properly. :mad:

The R800 handles disk printing a lot better.

I've printed quite a few dvd's with the 2100, takes them in easy enough if you set the lever on the back correctly, I just find it hard to line up the disc to get the image central. I need to do this for a wedding dvd this week - first time for a while, I'll let you know how I get on.
