When I try to scan a printer with Nessus 4.4.1 I got the following message:

Do not scan printers The remote host appears to be a fragile device and will not be scanned.

How can I enable printers scanning?

Polcies -> Preferences -> Do not scan fragile devices -> Scan Network Printers

Bear in mind that this may result in pages of random characters/service fingerprints being printed, and the printer may end up crashing. This is the default setting for a reason.
