Just add the printers you don't want to scan to your nessusd.rules file:
deny 192.168.1.xxx
deny 192.168.1.xxx
etc.

Subject: Question on setting up a scan
I have been reading the Nessus book that was recently published and I
thoroughly enjoy what I have read so far. One question I have is it mentions
setting up a list of the IPs you would like to scan, in order to avoid scanning
some IP addresses. For example, every time I scan an HP printer I must power
cycle the printer before it can print again. So I created a list of devices I
would add in every IP address I want to scan.
This seems like a waste to type in every IP that I want scanned when my list is
really 192.168.1.1/24 minus 192.168.1.XXX where XXX is the printer I want to
avoid. Is there a simpler way of doing this?
