Take a look at glabels. I don't know what kind of layout you must produce in order to print directly to the cd/dvd, so that might be an issue here as well.

What I do is create art work with Gimp then import it into glabels for printing on cd/dvd labels. Again, it'll depend on what kind of layout the printer expects when printing directly to the cd/dvd.

I have considered printing labels using glabels which seems to be quite a useful piece of software for producing all sorts of labels. Glabels certainly provides such a good range of templates that one is spoilt for choice. My reason for pursuing the print to DVD approach is that I only want one label per DVD and the templates appear to give two the same. I must look further.

When you select to print, you are given the option to print any combination of the labels (upper label, lower label, both labels).
