Hello, @wizard5458
Do you often label CDs/DVDs? Just curious… :wink:

Maybe this thread on AskUbuntu will help you out:
Here
It’s about a R285 and pretty old, but maybe you get some fresh ideas, which you haven’t tried yet.

[Addendum]
Have you installed the native Epson drivers?
You can find them here (search for XP-760 and choose “Linux” as OS)

On the german Epson site I found this:
Bedrucken von CDs und DVDs
It states, that you can use any program for printing the CDs/DVDs as long as these options are set:
Paper: A4 (or whatever is used in your country)
Orientation: Portrait
Type of paper: CD/DVD Premium surface (or similar I guess)
Tray: Epson Tray 2
I think this could be matched, maybe with the above mentioned native driver from Epson (for the Tray thingy).

Hi thanks for the reply. I can put images into an application. My issue is there’s no cd tray option in printer driver software from cups. There’s no cd option in media list

I have used your link to native drivers but none listed for my printer XP760 which is in the photo expression range

Hmm.
I just give the model and choose “Linux”, then he presents me with 3 options…

Have you installed all the drivers? If so, it should work. Although I’m not sure that this model has the same software functionality for Linux as it does for Windows.
