Ugh... I bought a new DVD drive with LightScribe capabilities about a month ago. I needed a faster drive to help me do more frequent backups of my photos.
The drive worked flawlessly for DVD and CD writing. Today I bought LightScribe CD's (at an outrageous cost of more than $2 per disc) and tried to burn my first label.
During the print preview, I was presented with an error similar to this:
A communication error occurred with the LightScribe Drive (or device)
After a couple of hours downloading updates, installing firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling I finally found the culprit.
It appears that the Intel Application Accelerator causes problems with LightScribe software. Stupid as that may sound. I discovered this by downloading and running the LightsScribe diaganostics software from http://www.lightscribe.com .
After uninstalling, I'm successfully labeling my first $2 disc. Four minutes until I get to witness the monochromatic supreme-ness that is LightScribe.
yay.
