CALs for anonymous access
I am planning to setup a anonymous print server in the network. Can you someone advice if I need to purchase any CALs at all? If so, does it base on the number of users who actually use the service/server. Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, you do not need to install the CAL when building the print server. The remote desktop CAL is required when making a remote session
on the Terminal server.
Please refer to the following articles to be familiar with CAL on the Terminal server.

Meanwhile, if you have any licensing concerns, you can call 1-800-426-9400 (select option 4), Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. (PST)
to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist.
