I'm having this issue for the first time (I've been using SuSE linux in one version or another since 2004).
k3b burns DVDs (DVD-Rs) without any problems, but refuses to burn a CD-R (and asks me to insert a CD-RW!!). The systems recognizes the empty CD-R and even asks me if it should launch k3b to record something in it.
PLEASE do not recommend me to use cdrao or something else using the command line, I need to be able to record data CDs from KDE.
I'm running SuSE 10.0, KDE 3.5.1, k3b 0.12. My DVD recorder is a Sony DRU-800. Here's a dump from k3b after one such failure:
