I Inkjet-printed CDs may not look as slick as silkscreened ones, but they're way, way less tacky than labels (which eventually bubble or worse, come off inside someone's player and ruin it, as once happened to one of my drives.) The Epson RX580 is starting to show up cheap (like $60) as a refurb, and as long as you have a really up to date Linux/cups/gutenprint/whatever it is that makes "Epson RX580" show up in my printer list on Kubuntu 7.10, you should be able to print CDs on it without much trouble. One caveat about the RX580 is that the scanner part of it won't be recognized unless you install some binary blob from an Epson-affiliated website, and the binary blob is 32-bit only.
