nessus knows a few systems within a range im scanning are in fact printers
and skip over them.  Though there are a few that it still scans even though
it knows its a printer

Remote operating system : HP Deskjet 6127
Confidence Level : 50
Method : ICMP

Not all fingerprints could give a match - please email the following to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] :

SNMP:!:Desk of Tari Boh


The remote host is running HP Deskjet 6127

3 of these printers are being scanned and printing junk



5 other printers are not

Synopsis :

The remote host appears to be a printer and will not be scanned.

Description :

The remote host appears to be a network printer or multi-function
device. Such devices often react very poorly when scanned - some
crash, others print a number of pages. To avoid problems, Nessus has
marked the remote host as 'Dead' and will not scan it.

Solution :

If you are not concerned about such behavior, enable the 'Scan Network
Printers' setting under the 'Do not scan fragile devices' advanced
settings block and re-run the scan.
