Making a CD recorder work

[stan]

I've used cdrecord and cdrdao in the past on Debian machnes with success. I
just installed a HP CD Writer in my Ubuntu machine, and when I run cdrecord
-scanbus I get only the following:

root at ubuntu:~# cdrecord -scanbus

I have developed some autmated scripts for buring ISO's. and audio CD's
using cdrecord, and cdrdao. I'd like to be able to make these work on
Ubuntu.

What do I need to do to convert these?
