LinuxQuestions.org - LaCie LightScribe Labeler: Can you enter text?

Greetings,

Has anyone been able to use LaCie's LightScribe Labeler? I installed it long ago, but have never been able to use it. As far as I can see from the manual, there is no way to input text to print on the disc, either from the GUI or the command line. Am I missing something here? I noticed a dialog to import images; maybe I am supposed to create an image with text in another app, and import it? Is there a way to format disc labels in OpenOffice? Searching Synaptic for "disc labeller" doesn't turn anything up.

It does see my LightScribe drive:

Code:

pad@Studio909:~$ 4L-cli enumerate

Using /etc/lightscribe.rc

Drive path: /dev/hdb

Usable: 1

Full name: HP      - DVD Writer 840d  - HPD3

Model: DVD Writer 840d 

Manufacturer: HP      

Capabilities: monochrome 

Drive inner radius: 21700

Drive outer radius: 58700

Luckily the LightScribe drive itself didn't cost any more than other drives with the same specs. But it would be cool if I could actually use the LightScribe capability. Otherwise I might as well remove the app and its launcher to make more room on my panel. The expensive LightScribe discs will then get illegible Sharpie scrawls, like all the rest.
