Most printers have a special tray that you place the CD into and then run through the printer. Others have a special slot or drawer for CD-Rs. You will need to change the printer settings on your computer to print CDs.
Determine your needs. You'll probably want a printer that you can use for photos and documents, as well as CDs. Dedicated CD printers for bulk labeling exist, but these are usually high-end, high-priced and for professional use.
Go shopping. There are many CD printers on affordable on the market. Simply do an Internet search for 'CD printers.' Look for models in your price range that fit your needs. Go with brands you trust.
Look for the right features. You want an inkjet printer that functions as a normal printer and has the ability to print CDs. Stand-alone, dedicated CD printers are probably not what you want.

Buy a printer. Once your research is finished, go out and buy it.
