This is a very good list, however I think some of the items crash when
scanned without safe checks while other crash even if safe checks are
enabled.

Would it be possible to make a more detailed list like :

Hardware, Problem Type, safe_checks ?, DoS enabled ?


As for the printers, Nessus does not scan them any more, except if the
relevant safeguard plugin is disabled.
