Most DSLR's have an image sensor that has a 3:2 aspect ratio. Common print sizes have a variety of aspect ratios: 5:4 (8x10), 7:5 (5x7), 2:1, 3:1, 1:1. So, DSLR images may have to be cropped to print at the various sizes.
With image dimensions of 3056 pixels x 4592 pixels, the client could have prints made, at 100 ppi, that are 30.56 inches by 45.92 inches (I sell prints at this size for $300 ea.). You could write them to the CD at reduced resolution so they can't be printed so big.
If the images are watermarked and the client takes them to Walgreens to have prints made, Walgreens can't legally make the prints without a print release because of federal copyright laws.
You became the copyright owner of the images as soon as you released the shutter, that's why you have to provide the release. If the client doesn't want prints or plans to just print them at home.........
