I haven't had any significant problems with it. There is a 3rd alternative, which is buying a thermal printer, but they are not cheap either.
My Canon printer prints onto discs, and it's a great printer (excellent quality on photo paper, etc). Also I've heard of DVD +/- R/RW DL drives with built-in "LightScribe" - flip the disc over and it etches in your label using the laser. The only downside is you have to buy compatible discs, which may not mean using the top high-grade stuff you normally use.
