K3b does not write to CD-R but CD-RW

I looked web and found that cdrdao is better option than cdrecord. Cdrecord was giving "i/o error: not necessarily important error". I also tried to write after stopping hal daemon but no luck. Below is the output from debugging window:

Any suggestions?

It looks like your drive doesn't like the blanks you are using, or just isn't working right. Dusty lens or bad blanks or drive going bad.
