That's the one I'm talking about.  The model I have is the more expensive 
one but I got it on sale for about $10 more than the cheaper one.  I also 
picked up about 300 printable disks that they had on sale for $17.95 a 
hundred.  I think the regular price is abut $0.50 a disk but 18 cents a disk 
brings the price down even with the cost of the printer to less than $125 
for the first hundred you print.  If you sell them for $10 each you only 
have to sell about a dozen to cover your experiment in printing CD's

You would have to feed them individually though which could be time 
consuming but I do that kind of stuff while I do something else usually on a 
separate computer but most computers today would let you print and work on 
something else at the same time.
