Make sure the El Capitan installer (or at least a copy of it), called Install OS X El Capitan.app, is in its default location in your main Applications folder (/Applications). Select the text of.
Nov 07, 2015 Set the Name to El Capitan. Set the Format to OS X Extended (Journaled). Set the Scheme to GUID Partition Map. Click Erase to format the drive. Install OS X to the Target Drive.

Jul 30, 2021 Install El Capitan. OK, now you can click that Continue button in the installer window. (If the installer isn’t running, go to your Applications folder and double click the Install OS X El Capitan app.) You’ll be asked to agree and then confirm that you agree to the license agreement.

How to Install System Software on:

El Capitan OS X 10.11
Sierra OS X 10.12
Also works on…
High Sierra OS X 10.13
Mojave OS X 10.14

But, Catalina OS X 10.15 is rather hit and miss
and BigSur OS X 11 seems no go at all.

El Capitan os x 10.11 for Mac is like Win10 for Windows – Neither are LightScribe friendly.

It’s the fact that the problem stems from the fact that HP stopped developing the software back in March 2013 – nearly 3 years now long before El Capitan was released! They (the wise guys at Mac HQ) have done something different this time, as Yosemite OS X 10.10 was fine…

However, folks much smarter than I am have found the cause of the problem and have sent me the solution…

My thanks go to, Stefan Ilchenko and Jo Vandeweghe – Thanks guys… 🙂

However please understand I am not a Mac expert so I offer this to you to try but can’t offer any direct support on its implementation…

The Problem With El Capitan OS X 10.11 and Sierra OS X 10.12

.

The cause is the SIP (system integrity protection) enabled.

The Solution…
.

To disable follow these steps:

Boot to Recovery OS by restarting your machine and holding down the Command and R keys at startup.

Launch Terminal from the Utilities menu.

Enter the following command: csrutil disable

Reboot your computer.

Download newest Lightscribe Host software; expand the .tar file on the desktop

Install Pacifist 3.5.7 version and install the lightscribe.pkg file with Pacifist.

Then you can, with the terminal command “csrutil enable”, as action describe above, enable the SIP again.

Et voilà, the LACIE lightscribe software and Disc Cover 3, come back to recognize the Lightscribe drive.

I hope this works for you as it has for many other long-suffering El Capitan and Sierra users…
