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?
