Print custom CD/DVD labels
You can use the Roxio Creator Basic software that came with the HP All-in-One to create
and print a label directly onto a LightScribe-compatible CD/DVD.
Another option for creating CD/DVD labels with the HP All-in-One is to use the
HP Photosmart Software or online templates from the HP Web site to create and print a
label onto CD/DVD tattoo paper, then affix the label to a CD/DVD.
To print a label directly onto a LightScribe-compatible CD/DVD
1. Load a LightScribe-compatible CD/DVD with the label side down into the LightScribe-
enabled drive on the HP All-in-One.
2. Use the Roxio Creator Basic Software that came with the HP All-in-One to create and
print a LightScribe label.
For information on creating and printing LightScribe-compatible CD/DVD labels from
the software, see the help that came with the Roxio Creator Basic software.
