3. You mentioned "printable CD". Print directly onto the surface of the
disk? I think I've heard of such, but I've never seen a printer that can do it.
They would need a straight-through paper path because the disks don't
bend very well, with rollers set for very thick media - and probably special
inks.

My HP Photosmart D5460 prints disc perfectly, there's a drop down drawer
and a cassette to put the disc in, this slides under the print heads so
no need to go round in the same way paper does, it's all lined up
automatically. The software that came with the printer can be used to
design simple labels or you can drop in a pre designed one from a more
professional application.

These two printers will print on Printable optical disks:

Epson XP-800
Brother MFC-J875DW

They use the same ink cartridges that are already in the printer.

Others in the same families should do the same.
