Printing CDs on a Canon Pixma printer?

Question

Printing CDs on a Canon Pixma printer?

For some years I've been using an Epson program called Print CD to print directly onto printable CDs on my Epson XP-605 printer with no problem. I've now replaced the XP-605 with a Canon TS8352a which I chose because it can print directly onto CDs. Problem - when I try to print from Print CD and select printer Canon TS8352a, I get a pop-up box saying,

"Your Mac is connected to the printer via AirPrint. To print from Print CD, you need to use a driver provided by Epson".

I cannot find any driver on the internet to interface the Epson program with the Canon printer. Perhaps this is not surprising but can anyone tell if if such a driver exists?

If not, it there a program I can use to create CD labels which will work with my Canon printer?

I'm on an iMac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra.

Thanks in anticipation.

iMac, OS X 10.11

It appears the Print CD program is an Epson proprietary app tied to an Epson printer. Unfortunately you can only use the Print CD app with an Epson printer. Unfortunately this is very common in the industry as they don't want users to go to the competition. You will need to find another app or method to print the CD labels.
