You've got an expensive unit (see below for Press Release), with a built-in CD/DVD reader/writer.
Given that your unit could be six years old, it's possible that the reader/writer has "died".

It seems to be a "stand-alone" unit -- not something that requires either Mac OSx or Windows XP/Vista/7 to operate.

I'm guessing that _ANY_ IDE (not 'SATA') HP-brand reader/writer, provided that it has a "LightScribe" capability, could be purchased, and could be inserted to replace the "dead" reader/writer. For about $100, it's worthwhile to try this "substitution" to revive your unit.

The Microboards G3 is the worst duplicator I have ever owned. It has worked a total of 4 times, no response from the company, software is terrible and faulty and I'm pretty much over it. Good luck.

you can now get continuous inking systems for the microboards pf-pro machines

I'd recommend calling their support line at 952-556-1639 and asking for a guy named Brochu. I own a DX-1 and he was very helpful and was able to walk me through the process on the phone.

Sounds like you have either a defective ink cartridge, or the sensor that recognizes the cartridge is either dirty, broken or out of alignment.

Microboards will help you out at no charge if your printer is still under warranty. Otherwise you can contact an authorized Microboards repair center like

Use Windows XP Professional or 2000 professional for best results.

i whant drivers this printer

I am assuming you are using a PF-2 printer. If you are using a standard HP78 ink cartridge instead of the Microboards cartridge, the unit will only print approx 5 discs before it stops. The microboards cartridges have a security tag under the barcode label that is scanned by a magnetic reader on the left hand part of the unit. If you are careful, you can use a razor blade and remove the label from a microboards cartridge and tape it on the front of a HP ink and save yourself about $25 an ink cartridge...
