It's a tool of very limited value in large part because of the special 
media required. Selection is limited and getting a line of blanks that 
works well - even at over $1 per conventional CD-R - will be 
problematic. HP offers one package of CD-R media, one of DVD+R and two 
drives (one each internal and external).

In short, there appears to be a very limited market. The product I've 
seen lacks the crispness and contrast needed to be a winner and writing 
is neither quick nor convenient. In short, a thermal printer would 
appear to be a better choice all around.
