Windows 2008 Server CALs

Hi. We have a number of multifunction printers on our network.  I have had conflicting information as to whether these devices need their own CAL.  I was under the impression that the User CALs who use the printer cover this.  Is that correct?

I guess printers don't need CALS
I Presume your talking Remote Desktop CALs? These  are either per user or device, User being the total number of users who have the ability to access your terminal servers. Device being the total amount of devices that have the ability to access your terminal servers eg laptop & desktops not printers

Hi Stuart. No, I'm talking about Windows Server 2008 CALs.
multi function printers on our network.  I have had conflicting information as to whether these devices need their own CAL.  I was under the impression that the User CALs who use the printer cover this. as just a printer it is a peripheral device and does not require a CAL, if you scan to the LAN it does need a CAL. So it depends upon your usage.. just as a printer (NO) anything else that would require authentication to the network then Yes
