Again, not thermal, but I have recently acquired an HP C5200 series printer 
for about $90, which has a special tray for inserting an inkjet-printable CD-R. 
 I use it with SureThing 5 software, for which one of the print options is 
the HP Photosmart C5200 series:

I have been very pleased with the results, using Taiyo Yuden CD-R's.  With my 
particular CD-R's, the printed CD is not at all waterproof; the ink pretty 
much washes away with water.  However, I see that the Dymo comes with three "3 
glossy waterproof CD's" and that Taiyo Yuden offers "InkJet WaterShield" CD-R's 
(model number CDR80WPPSB-WS):

That said, these discs are on the expensive side ($0.52 each in quantities of 
50):

(Nonwaterproof T-Y CD-R's, e.g., CDR80WPY100SBZM, are $0.34 each in 
quantities of 100 on the same site).

Good luck!
