Lightscribe came with my PC via Cyberlink.  I have a HP printer and have Window's Vista.  When I choose a label design it shows up in color, but it does not print on to my disc in color.  Should it! or is everything just printed in grayscale? I'm disappointed.  Thanks for any help on this topic.

The Lightscribe disc labeling feature is basically a greyscale laser etching (done on a Lightscribe equipped cd/dvd optical drive not on a printer) process on specially manufactured blank optical discs. (cd-r, dvd-r, etc) The following link will take you to a webpage that details the required Lightscribe components:
