1. Remove plastic blocking opening
This can be done very easily with a screw driver. Just lower the door down and slide a flathead screwdriver down behind the plastic piece and very gently push forward.
Be very careful not to damage the soft bendable plastic, might want to wrap the screwdriver in tape first so it doesn’t scrap the plastic either.
I recommend placing the screwdriver in at one end, don’t try it in the middle.
It should pop out without much effort.

3. Install the Driver
The USA driver will work just fine, it is on the CD that came with your printer. If the driver was already installed because you have been using the printer before you found this wonderful page, you will need to UNINSTALL it and RE-INSTALL it.
4. Install the CD/DVD label software: Downloads
5. Purchase a Canon cd tray on eBay. http://search.ebay.com/
