do you have a place that sells green LightScribe media?  I have about 5 
DVDs left, so I would need to buy more soon if I continue using them.

For me, paper labels are worse than LightScribe labels.  Also they tend 
to bubble up in humid conditions, for some reason.  So the only option 
is to use direct printing to printable media.  I hope to be able to buy 
one in a few months.  Then I will be set.  The media does not cost too 
much more, until you add the shipping.  Maybe I will find some local 
business that still sells them in 25 or 50 packs.  I buy "normal" DVDs 
and CDs in the 50-packs.

Actually, if I knew that I would not have any expenses, except for food, 
this month, I could buy it now.  The printer have 5 color cartridges and 
the black.  Be cheaper than using a tri-color printer.
