Recently i have been messing around with Lightscribe software, and decided to put together the following .pets
I made them from the contents of some .rpm packages that i found on the LaCie website.
They work fine in Puppy-4.0 (k2.6.21.7)
Here is a snippet from the Manual
After installing both .pets4L consists in two distincts parts.
■ The first part is a command-line based tool, 4L-cli, providing all the LightScribe functionnalities through a small set of subcommands.
Only BMP images can be printed with 4L-cli.
■ The second part, 4L-gui, is a graphical application that allows to load, scale and print an existing image file on a LightScribe disc. Several of
the most common image formats are supported (BMP, PNG, JPEG and GIF).
do the usual and open a terminal and run fixmenus
if using jwm, then restart jwm.
You should now have a new Menu entry: Graphic > Lacie Lightscribe Labeler
this will start the 4L-gui application.
- Install this one first:
lightscribe-1.8.15.1-linux-2.6.pet
md5sum
Then this one:
4L-1.0-r6.pet
md5sum
Here is a copy of the Manual LightScribeLabelerLinux_en.pdf
Username = puppy
Password = linux
- Note:
If you are using a later (newer) version of Puppy than version 4.00,
you may not get a menu entry appear, if that happens See this post further down the page
- Note:
Just extract it, and put it in your gimp scripts directory.
I put mine here: /root/.gimp-2.4/scripts/CDlabel3.scm
You will then find it in the tools dialog: Xtns > CD label
It has several disc options to choose from.
When you have finished creating it, you can save it as a BMP, PNG, JPEG or GIF (it doesn't really matter)
Insert a Lightscribe disc into your Lightscribe burner,
then fire up the Lightscribe software and import the image (Top Left Icon),
you can manually scale it to fit if you like.
Then click on the Top Right Icon (Print), and in the next window click on Preview.
If everything looks OK, click on Print then sit back and wait.
I hope someone finds this useful.

Note:
Text on a curve (concentric with center of disc) will print a lot quicker than if it is straight across the disc.
P.S
The observant amongst you will notice that the final image has a bit more text on it,
that was added several days after the rest was done.
