Help finding a cheap inkjet for printing on DVDs/CDs (and preferably not cartridges?)

Alright so I've been looking for a printer to start printing on some CDs and DVDs, but I also want to avoid dealing with the annoying DRM of ink that seems to come with most printers (so it seems like ink tank printers are what i want? though I've also heard that some printers have refillable cartridge kits? I'm fairly new to this). I also have a pretty tight budget, but I can wait and save for something more expensive if its really my only option.

What types of things should I look for to get something around the $100-200 price range, assuming that even exists? (I'd love to get something from a smaller company or something that supports open printing/DRM-free printing if that exists, but overall, I just want to be able to print on discs and not worry about ink.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: It seems like im either looking at lightscribe or more likely, the epson expression xp-6100. I'm going to deliberate for a bit, but i might be going the epson route, solely so i can also get something to print label stickers for my computers, and also possibly disc case art. tysm for all the help
