Hi, don't know about Voodoo, this is what I do. Turn on printer with
CD drawer not open, wait till all is quiet, then drop open CD drawer,
then insert CD on its tray, being careful to allign tray arrows. I
don't use the Epson CD printing utility; I use my own templates set up
in Photoshop which gives perfect alignment every time and much better
placement resolution. When printing the CD tray sometimes needs to be
helped into the print area when it first 'sucks' itself in to align
itself, but once the first one is done it's usually OK after that.
Hope this is of some help.
