Many, many, many thanks to David C:

68-disc_identification.patch FIXED the unrecognized blank disc issue with

    HP CD-Writer+ 8200 series
    Ubuntu 7.1 (gutsy)

Linux newbie <1yr, followed David's preliminary instructions, followed suggestions in the error message, installed pbuilder, updated all dependencies, compiled the patch, and installed the resulting hal_0.5.9.1-6ubuntu5_i386.deb file from Root Termnal. In this case pbuilder removed 26 packages and replaced them with 33 packages. Although the installation ended with "starting hal..." nautilus-cd-burner recognized a blank CD only after rebooting.But I can now burn CDs in the native application after 8 months of frustration!
