You are able to print DVDs without that special package, but never got 
into doing it.  I never looked into the "manual" DVD label printing via 
the printers small screen and its menus.  But it seems to be able to be 
done that way.  How else could you do it with a Linux system, since 
Canon in other places except North America does support Linux drivers.

I never have gotten any Networked USB adapter device to work properly, 
since they all seem to need special "Windows-only" drivers.  I bought 
one to get a USB drive on the network, but failed to get it to work with 
Linux systems connected to the network.

Image to be printed via USB?
Print to a "printer image file" first?  Never worked with 
"print-to-file" options before.

I prefer to use free stuff as well.  Why buy when you can get things 
that do the same for free - legally.  I have to have at least 1 Windows 
laptop to deal with defragging the NTFS external drives used with my 
desktops/laptops and streaming media using my blu-ray players USB 
ports.  Then there are the hardware that require a Windows driver since 
there is no Linux drivers [yet].

For some things, I just "go with the flow", so to speak.  I went with 
Linux since I could not get Nero to reinstall or work after a major XP 
crash and never got the Vista system to run my Nero software.  So it was 
easier to setup a Ubuntu box with DeVeDe. Later I just installed Ubuntu 
since it was easier than spending more money on the needed hardware than 
less hardware and add whatever MS OS was available in Feb 2010.  Later 
it was easier to stick with Ubuntu 10.04 till I really needed to use 
12.04 for some package updates that would not install on 10.04/.10...

Right now, with a car that went to the garage yesterday and came back 
today with $250 more needed in repairs on Thursday, then my fresh out of 
the box toner having a bad "drum", and then the .2/.3 install problems.  
Well, I stopped working on the computer for 4 hours, so I could eat 
before getting sick, and deal with the pain killers needed to stop the 
pain that has hit me bad since Thursday and the car "problem" in parking 
lot where I had to wait in the cold for a taxi cab to get home.

So tomorrow, I will do some other things, but will try to get the Win7 
install working.  Was told to use a command line "script" and get back 
to the "bug" people.
