An option to consider is thermal transfer printing onto CDs and DVDs. Casio makes such a printer which can be had for about $80 if you catch it on sale. I was more impressed, though, by the one from Primera.

The low-end Primera CD/DVD printer is the thermal transfer Signature Z1, which sells for $150 or less. Prints monochrome (4 available colors: Black, Red, Blue or Green) directly onto NON-BRANDED CDs/DVDs. The included software sets up 4 rectangular print regions, within which text or line-art graphics can be placed. Media can be purchased in bulk (my choice for CDs is referenced below). I am very happy with this purchase. It suits my needs perfectly.

PS Primera also makes 6-color inkjet printers for printing direct to CD/DVD. Several models to choose from. Info is available at the Primera link above.
