Try (using a terminal - Applications|Accessories|Terminal:

$ sudo k3b

You will get errors to the effect:

Running K3b as root user
It is not recommended to run K3b under the root user account. This
introduces unnecessary security risks.
Solution: Run K3b from a proper user account and setup the device and
external tool permissions appropriately.

and terminal errors. But given the issues listed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/149076

it's worth a try.

Try a different speed, and/or media, update the firmware?
