That's possible, but it's a server setting only, meaning you can't give 
it from command line, only from the server requesting the inventory. And 
whereas I know how to do it from OCS server, I'm not even sure you can 
do it from a GLPI server. On the other hands, parameters as --no-printer 
or --no-software can't be passed from the server at all. Yes, this lacks 
consistency...
