Well it is true to say that because of that fact and that HP and Compaq PC's and Laptop/Notebooks come with LightScribe DVD Drives as standard they do have the lion's share of the drive market...
However (and this may just be because of the number in use...) the drives that most commonly cause problems according to the emails I receive are HP's...
I'm not suggesting if you have a working HP LightScribe drive you should change it but if it ever goes wrong (except if it is in a notebook) try either a LG, Liteon or Samsung Lightscribe drive instead.

External LightScribe DVD DrivesThe only difference between an Internal and external LightScribe drive is the fact it comes in its own case and is connected to your PC/Laptop via a USB cable. This makes these great for someone who has a laptop where the changing of the drive for a LightScribe one would be impossible.
I have used, for about 2 years now, an external LG LightScribe Drive and it has proved faultless.
I recommend these wholeheartedly.

An example of one such drive is this:
