Lightscribe Drive won't write labels
Just in case y'all were bored, here's an oldie but a (maybe) goodie...........
Normal PC that was running win 7 Pro. Had an HP 1260 Lightscribe drive. Burned CDs, DVDs AND Lightscribe labels... Worked perfectly. Worked for years. I know how to use it.
Upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 Pro. Concurrently, my hp 1260 died and I bought a TSST L632M USB Lightscribe drive. I plug is into a USB port AND IT WORKS. It burns CDs. It burns DVDs. It does NOT burn Lightscribe labels. Drive is clearly marked "Lightscribe". The Internet SAYS it's a Lightscribe drive.
The Lightscribe service is running. The Lightscribe Control Panel SAYS IT'S THERE. The DISK is a TDK and clearly marked "Lightscribe". As near as I can tell, it should work.
The Lightscribe template labeler goes through the WHOLE process of "writing" with the animation showing the text being written. BUT, the drive LED never flashes, and nothing gets written.
I tried it on a SECOND machine - one running Win 10 HOME. Same result. Unfortunately, I've upgraded all four PCs to either Win 10 Pro or Win 10 Home, so I no longer have a Win 7 PC to try the drive on.
Any ideas on WHY this thing won't do what it's clearly marked to do? Driver of some sort? Bad karma?
