I've researched this but haven't bought a printer yet.  I don't like the 
labels because there have been numerous articles suggesting that the 
glue from the labels can decrease the life of the media, particularly 
CD's due to their writable layer being fairly close to the surface where 
a label sticks.  I mostly use a sharpee and a labeled case at this 
point.  I've seriously considered a suitable, general purpose, inkjet 
printer.  From what I can tell the only mass market machine for this 
purpose is the Epsom Photo Printer series, the cheapest of which is the 
R200 at CC for $99.99.  It has a couple of big brothers with more 
features and a higher price tag.  From what I could find, other than 
that there are only more expensive, special purpose, CD/DVD only printers.
