You can also get a little casio printer that prints on the silver
discs, using a laser I think. B& W only.
Might work out better, since the discs are cheaper but you gotta buy
a dedicated printer.
This is the one I used at work, last year:

We had trouble using it from our Macs, had to directly type in and
store a few labels in the memory; that was annoying. Also meant no
graphics.
Might be a MAC driver for it by now, don't know. Or maybe you're not
on Mac.
