Printing label direct to CD with PE 2020 and Canon TS700 series printer

Hi all

First time posting to this discussion group, and my apologies for the length of this post.

Question: Is anyone using Photoshop Elements 2020 to write labels directly to printable CDs using a Canon PIXMA TS700 series inkjet printer?

Background: For 13 years I was using an Epson R280 inkjet to print labels directly to printable CDs.  Never used the Epson CD label designing software, always used PE 12, upgraded to PE 2020 about a year ago.   Disliked PE’s Create CD label software, always printed from a template I got from Riverwood Photography a long time ago, and I don’t remember how I managed before that.

Epson label printing finally became treacherous: text ghosting and stray marks on the label.  

Ditched the Epson, bought a Canon PIXMA TS702.   Didn’t install the ‘My Image Garden’ CD label software (everyone seems to hate it), and don’t like ‘Easy PhotoPrint Editor’ which I find clunky and inflexible.   I **should** be able to create a label directly from PE 2020    

These are the PE 2020 settings I use when attempting to write a label directly to printable CD:

Left half of display (when I press Page Setup): 

Currently Used Settings: Photo Printing

Additional Features:  3 options all UN-checked

Media Type:  Oher Papers: Printable disc

Print Quality:  High

Printer Paper Size:  Multipurpose Tray

Page Source:  Multipurpose Tray

Always Print with Current Settings:  UN-checked

Printer Paper Size: Multipurpose Tray

Paper Source: Multipurpose Tray

Printer Media Information: (leave alone)

Defaults: (Don’t press this!!)

Right half of display:

Select Printer:  Canon Inkjet  (assigned name)

Printer Settings:

  Paper Type:  Printable disc)

  Print Quality: Best

      Tray: Multipurpose Tray

Select Paper Size:   Multipurpose Tray

Select Type of Print:  Individual Prints 

Select Print Size:  Actual Size (4.72” x 4.72”)

Print 1 copies  

The Canon printer goes nuts when I hit Print.  Sometimes it throws a code 1259 (pull the output tray out – makes no sense because I’m using the separate multipurpose CD tray) – or a 1300 (paper jam – which make no sense because I’m not using paper media), or a 6004 (printer error, which is non-specific, but hints that if turning the thing off and on again doesn’t fix it I’m in big trouble). 

So it’s possible the unit is defective and I need to replace it.

Meanwhile I am wondering whether anyone sees anything amiss with the above print setup AND whether anyone has printed CD labels directly from a 4.72” x 4.72” image – or is aware of a suitable template.

Many thanks for any info.
