I ran the alignment and my labels still don't line up. I have COMMERCIAL PAPER and CD STOMPER PRO (A4) selected and it still prints to the right edge of the label. I have the ROXIO EASY MEDIA CREATOR 5 on my old computer and really prefer it since it works perfect. It isn't compatible with my new computer HP a1450n.
How can I get this new label printer to work right. My old labels transfered over don't print correctly either.

You may have to do a manual setting (for generic paper) - measure the distance from the top and side of the blank sheet and enter that in the settings.

By the way - you can run both 5 and 8 together so long as you aren't using Drag to Disc - do a custom install of 5 and try to deselect as much as you can (leaving the label creator)
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Thank you! I will try all of the above. Much appreciated! Christine

When I run the calibrate it only comes up with the place to put in letters. Where and how would I align to a pice of paper? Thank you, Christine

OK Christine - unfortunately I've only 9 here and not 8 but the procedure is as follows

You put in a blank sheet and print, then reload the sheet in the printer and follow the next step - that puts the letters on the disc outline. The final step should be to enter the letter(s) that correspond with the disc edge.

There should be a 'fine tuning' setting in preferences to allow you to tweak it vertically and horizontally

Personally, I preferred the older version where you could manually measure the two distances and enter that but this is supposed to be easier :)
