Had the identical error w/ HP CD-Writer+ 8200 after upgrading to Lucid. Am a relative newcomer to Linux, but I noticed two potential sources of the recent Brasero symptoms. Lucid switched from HAL (hardware abstraction layer) to DeviceKit for hardware detection. Also, Brasero seems to be a GUI for CDRecord for burning, which no longer appears to be installed in Lucid (at least in my system,) which now uses Wodim instead.

I switched to GnomeBaker, and my blank CD recognition problems disappeared.

Note that previously data CDs were recognized when inserted. The CD drive icon appeared in the Nautilus tree view with data CDs and contents were displayed. The CD drive icon, however, disappeared when a blank CD was inserted. So the problem was specifically with blank CD recognition only.
