It would seem that you can use rules (account restrictions) for the scanning account in question to accomplish this.
try "man nessus-adduser" for syntax

>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.
